Compostable Poop Bags
  Affordable, Compostable waste bags for easy clean-up when you're
walking your dog.
Picking up after your pet is part of being a responsible pet owner. In
many communities, it’s also the law. We are constantly amazed when pet
owners put 100% Compostable dog waste into plastic bags that can take
over 100 years to decompose. Now owners have a logical solution.
Remember,
our goal is to help divert all naturally Compostable waste from
entering our landfills. This includes food waste, yard waste, paper
waste and pet waste. If any of these items are placed in an anaerobic
(air-locked) landfill, their natural ability to biodegrade can be
severely diminished.
The
best solution for disposal of pet waste has always been to separate it
from the bag or paper and flush it down the toilet. Using Compostable
poop bags extends your options. The waste and the bag can be thrown in
your backyard compost, where both items can decompose naturally; the
waste and bag can be buried, where micro-organisms will quickly eat
both; the waste and bag can be set at curbside with other yard waste
where communities collect Compostable waste for composting. Please
check with your community for disposal options.
This
is what Compostable waste separation is all about. We thank you for
being concerned, responsible pet owners.

100% compostable |
|
No polyethylene
is used in the production process. |
|
Naturally, bags made from corn
instead of polyethylene is a major advance in environmental technology. |
|
Only GMO free
certified corn is used. |
|
Soy-based inks and dyes are CEN certified
for restricted use of heavy metals. |
|
DEBIO certified for use in organic
agriculture. |
|
Certified by the
Compostable Products Institute to meet the ASTM D6400
specification. Meets California SB 1749 requirements. |
|
Shelf stable,
just like paper plates or paper towels. There are no chemical
additives to enhance decomposition. The bags biodegrade naturally
when expose to the earth’s elements and micro-organisms in the soil. |
|
They “breathe”,
which allows heat and moisture to escape or evaporate. This feature
reduces bacterial build-up of collected waste, thus reducing odor. |
|
Will decompose in
a controlled composting environment in 10-45 days, leaving no
harmful residues behind. |
|
Now available in
2 sizes. |

Landfill Placement of
Bags: These bags are designed to be composted and returned naturally
back to the earth. If they are placed in an “open” or “turned” landfill
they will decompose at a rate similar to other Compostable materials
in the same setting. If they are placed in an anaerobic (air-locked)
landfill and deprived of oxygen and the existence of the micro-organisms
that “eat” naturally Compostable materials, their ability to decompose
will be severely restricted. This is true of all Compostable materials
placed in this setting, including paper, yard waste and food waste.
NOTE:
As of 2011, The
State of California has determined the words “biodegradable”
and “degradable” are misleading to consumers, as there
is no established legal time frame for either term. They want companies
to use the word COMPOSTABLE for defining a product’s
ability to decompose in a timely fashion in a controlled municipal
composting environment. (California State Law ASTM D6400)
