We’ve replaced our plastic bags with reusable ones, recycle our plastic containers, avoid using disposable plastic tableware, never purchase disposable water bottles – the list of small changes we’re making for the better goes on and on. Many of us have also replaced our plastic garbage bags with biodegradable ones, since the latter actually preserve foods inside them and take hundreds of years to even begin to degrade.

Regularly changing the litter box and scooping and bagging Fido’s business keeps homes and sidewalks clean, but what about the effects all those little plastic bags and cat pan liners have? Landfills continue to fill at an astoundingly fast rate – and even if plastic bags are filled with highly biodegradable, non-toxic waste, that waste will mummify rather than decompose.

Choosing a biodegradable, compostable product like BioBag Dog Waste Bags ensures that the bag’s contents will create a rich compost in just a few months. You can throw bag and all into your compost pile, or even bury it. Click here to read more
