dog poop bags

Description

Composting is the process of recycling organic matter, such as food scraps, leaves, and even pet waste, into fertilizer that can be used to enrich soil and plants. To safely compost dog poop—at home or at a composting facility—a bag needs to be made out of bioplastic, which is a type of plastic made from non-petroleum sources—often corn or tapioca—instead of fossil fuels.

A reliable compostable dog should have all the qualities of a standard poop bag–easy to open, large enough to hold your dog’s load–in addition to their sustainable bonafides. We tested 13 bags made from bioplastics under real-world conditions, using volunteer testers and their dogs.
