WHY USE ECO-FRIENDLY DOG WASTE BAGS?

One of the joys of being a dog owner is the countless years of love, affection and friendship you can have with your four-legged friend. Long hikes in the mountains to chasing seagulls by the beach. The only downside is that those mountains and beaches become your dog's bathroom when nature calls.

Some councils can issue fines for anyone not caring dog poop bags with them but when owners use a minimum of two harmful plastic bags a day. That roughly equals over 700 harmful plastic bags a year.

Times that by the estimated 470 million dogs on earth, well that's a whole lot of unsustainable damaging plastic waste. These bags regularly get sent to our landfills or carelessly disposed of into our waterways. This both damages our environment as well as our local wildlife. But what if there was a smart and simple Eco-friendly alternative that any dog owner can switch to?

Introducing Beco's Compostable Dog Bags!

Being more eco-friendly and having more sustainable practices both in the home and in the office is the way of the future. Beco wanted to make this decision easier for all pet owners with these 100% compostable bags. These biodegradable bags are made with cornstarch, which is then converted into polymers. So, the bags have the strength and versatility of plastic without the damaging and lasting effects on our environment.

They are so sustainably made that you can actually place these bags into your well-maintained compost bin so the bag and its contents will completely disappear, leaving behind nutrient-filled compost that can be used on your garden beds.

Beco doesn't recommend you use this compost on any edible plants, for obvious reasons. But this will work great on your flowers and greenery.

Another option is investing in a worm farm. Worms are sustainability machines; They are quite happy to eat a lot of things we humans won't. This includes potato and vegetable peelings, apple cores and of course, animal waste. The worms will eat the waste and eliminate all odours, leaving you with fertile soil for your non-edible garden beds.

A great final option is investing in a dog waste composting bin that can be placed at your home or even your dog-friendly business to dispose of dog's mess quickly and efficiently.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to dispose of your dog’s poop in an eco-friendly way. Of course, you’ll find some options are more suitable than others – it all depends on you and your dog. One thing for sure, cleaning up after your canine might be RUFF, but with Beco's compostable dog bags, it's a walk in the park.

As Scar from our Pet Desk says "These bags are exactly the same as other bags, yet they have been such a better impact on the environment. It's a no-brainer. Beco Bags are the future"
