Why to switch over to Sustainable Poop Bags
Saving The Planet’s A Ruff Job, But Someone’s Gotta Do It. So we decided to design a poop bag that could make sustainability a walk in the park.
Global dog poop bags use is estimated to account for 0.6% of total plastic waste generation in mass! That’s over 1 million tons that end up in landfill per annum.* At EzyDog we are tackling the plastic challenge front on by committing to reduce the amount of plastic by creating a new line of Poop bags, called ‘Login’.
So many other brands are chasing their tails when it comes to sustainability. A plastic bag is still a plastic bag even when it’s sold in a cardboard box. Next time you purchase your roll of doggie poop bags take a closer look to how much of the actual bag is sustainable or compostable.
We not only engineered two state-of-the-art plastic alternatives that break down naturally and packaged them in 100% recyclable cardboard, we eliminated plastic and cardboard cores to add two extra bags to every roll. No core, just more.
Our first alternative is our Login Compostable bags, they are the absolute cream of the crop. Engineered with world-leading 100% compostable, polymer-based corn starch technology that breaks down completely in just 3 months, these bags are the ultimate way to minimise your pet’s carbon footprint.
Login Compostable rolls do not utilise a cardboard 'core'. In other alternatives the cardboard core contains glues and chemicals which are not essentially environmentally friendly. By removing this core the we are reducing waste and able to include two more bags per roll. EzyDog assisted in the development of this innovative manufacturing process and is another way we are working to eliminate packaging waste!
Our second alternative are our Biohybrid products. All Login Biohyrbid products are made using world leading Biohybrid technology, which essentially means that they are a composite material that includes 25% annually renewable starch, resulting in a significantly reduced carbon footprint; 42% less than other 'eco-friendly' products.
The Biohybrid technology Login products use is also ISO 9001 certified and committed to ISO 14040, environmental lifecycle management.
Our Poop bag holders themselves are made utilising 10% Biohyhrid materials, meaning that they too offer a far greater environmentally friendly alternative to the standard plastic alternatives. The holder can be connected to a leash via both the unique web-lok system or accessory D-Ring.
