Biodegradable Dog Poop Bags vs Compostable Dog Poop Bags - WHY USE THEM & What's the Difference?

We all want to do our bit for the planet and we try and be as environmentally friendly as possible but when faced with Biodegradable Poop Bags or Compostable Poop Bags are some better than others? What's the difference? Which are best for me?

Lets first talk about dogs and waste...

40 Million TONS Estimated annual amount of waste dog owners do not collect

20-30% Of all pollutants in waterways is attributed to dog waste

2.5 Million tons Amount of waste that goes to landfills each year in New Zealand

20% Of all landfill waste in New Zealand is plastics

500 YEARS Time it takes for a plastic bag to degrade in landfill. (And even then it's still not gone totally, it's turned into harmful microplastics)

We all want to reduce the amount of waste we produce which goes into landfill. Whether that's by using a reusable shopping bag, reducing the amount of single-use plastic we use on a day-to-day basis, or doing something as simple as using compostable or biodegradable poop bags for our fury friends, it all counts and we are here to help you!
