Product Information

Most people aren't able to compost their own dog waste and won't have a municipal facility nearby for drop-off. To biodegrade, bioplastic bags typically need oxygen and heat, and so are unlikely to degrade in a landfill. However, you will still be avoiding fossil fuel derived plastics by using Unni bags.

These poop bags are specially designed for dog and cat owners to make the stinky job easier and Mother Earth happier.These bags are made from standard plastic, but include an additive designed to make the bag break down when exposed to oxygen and sunlight. This means they are unlikely to decompose in a landfill, but will break down into smaller and smaller parts if left out as litter, for example if one gets caught in branches it can be expected to break down over time, unlike a plastic grocery bag. However, this may not necessarily be a good thing. While the full environmental effects of degrading additives are still unknown, early research suggests that oxo-biodegradable bags can create environmental microplastics.

Alternatively, red stool may be due to consumption of red food coloring, cranberries, beetroot, tomato-based products, or red gelatin. There are several relevant certifications, such as the ASTM D6954 standard, which indicates an "oxo-biodegradable" bag.

The company was the brainchild of Denise and a lovely bunch of like-minded eco dog owners and one crazy cat lady! Not only that, but they will still leave behind fragments of plastic, so they’re not quite as eco-friendly as they may seem. While the verdict is still out on oxo-biodegradable bags, we recommend the eco-conscious dog poop bag buyer instead look to bags made from recycled plastic and bioplastics that are made from non-petroleum sources.
