Description

‘The Sustainable People´s biodegradable Poop Bags are made from high-quality biobased material. They are extra thick, leak-proof, very hard to see through and comfortable to use. The handy rolls fit into most dispensers and any pocket. But most important TSP biodegradable Dog Waste Bags are certified OK Compost home (tested at 68°- 86° F / 20 – 30 °C), which ensures that the biodegradation can take place under low-temperature conditions that are common in the UK. Many other bio-degradable products in contrast, are certified in compliance with “OK Compost” or “EN 13432” only. Those certificates are based on tests under aggressive industrial composting conditions at 140 – 158 ° F (60 – 70 °C) which can not be compared to the composting conditions in UK´s environment at all. Other brands even offer normal plastics (PE or polyethylene) as “biodegradable” or “compostable”, when they use additives such as “Epi” or “d2w”. When exposed to sunlight, those substances lead to a faster shredding of the PE film (OXO degradation). That has nothing to do with the degradation process of our compostable Poop Bags where the material can be broken down by enzymes and afterwards metabolised by microorganisms. If you have a compost in your garden, we invite you to take the test: place one of our bags on your compost and compare it to any other dog waste bag, it should outperform probably any other material on the market (for the test please use food waste instead of dog poop because the latter one can contain pathogens). One note: The degradation of PVA bags cannot be tested this way because they are soluble, they will be gone for the eye very soon, the degradation of the material, however, can take many months.
