Eco conscious pet parents should beware of fake compostable dog waste bags on the market. Several brands on the market are being misleading in their use of the term, ‘biodegradable.’ Thus, not all poop bags degrade quickly or safely as claimed.
So it’s best to choose brands that meet ASTM International standards (ASTM D6400). In determining the level to which plastics are biodegradable, ASTM only certifies poop bags that meet their stringent criteria and that actually compost. So look for the ASTM label when choosing your vegetable based dog waste bags.
Real vegetable based dog waste bags are the perfect alternative to petroleum based polyethlene bags to pick up after your pet. Made from a special plant, vegetable oil, and compostable polymer resin vegetable based dog waste bags are compostable and biodegradable.
The best brands that are actually ASTM D6400 certified are:
- Doggy Do Good
- Pet N Pet
- Give A Sh#$
- Vitervi
- UNNI
- Planet Poop
- 100% Home Compostable Poop Bags
- Pets N Bags
- ZPAW
- BioBag
Biodegradable bags are definitely the better option. Rather than disposing of waste with waste, they offer you a more eco friendly option. Switching to biodegradable bags is also a step toward improving the Earth’s tremendous plastic trash problem.
