How much plastic could your walks recover every year?
No. of dogs:
You could recover the equivalent of 913 bottles’ worth of ocean-bound plastic every year.*
*Based on an average of 2.5 poos per dog, per day.
Recover plastic from nature with every poop you scoop
8 million pieces of plastic enter our oceans every day.
Recycling and reducing are vital, but they're not enough.
To tackle the plastic crisis, we must remove existing hard-to-recycle, low-value plastic waste from the environment.
Through ReSEAcled Poo Bags, you do just that.

You deserve data - not marketing buzzwords
"What's the most eco-friendly poo bag?"
In order to find out, we conducted a full, independent Poo Bag Life Cycle Assessment (?) using third-party verified data and international standards.
To our knowledge, we are are the first and only brand to perform an assessment of this kind.
Why aren’t ReSEAcled Poo Bags compostable?
It’s common to believe that compostable "cornstarch" poo bags are the most eco-friendly option.
We fell for the myths, too.
first came joyful optimism...
Receiving our first batch of Pet Impact compostable poo bags in 2021 (yes, we worked from our garage).
...followed by despair
Discovering just how wrong we were after doing more research and speaking to experts.
Hey! We're Alice & Gavin
Like every dog owner, we used countless poo bags for our pup, Alfie – and realised just how much waste that added up to.
Working with sustainability experts, we spent years developing a solution backed by real research, not greenwashing.
reseacled vs compostable
Assessing true "eco-friendliness" looks at the whole picture.
The Life Cycle Assessment showed ReSEAcled outperformed cornstarch in 14 of the 16 environmental categories measured in the assessment.

The hidden truths about compostable bags:
- 👎 Compostable poo bags still use fossil fuels (PBAT) in their production
- 👎 Growing cornstarch requires significant chemical, water and land use (meaning hidden environmental trade offs)
- 👎 In the UK, dog waste is incinerated or landfilled (rather than composted) – so compostable poo bags offer no end of life benefit
In comparison, ReSEAcled are far more resource efficient as they utilise waste, resulting in eco-savings across their entire life cycle.
The oyster shell difference
Unlike plant-based raw materials, oyster shells are a waste product. This means:
- No competition with human food production
- No contribution to deforestation
- Processing the shells provides a livelihood for local communities

FAQs
About ReSEAcled Poo Bags
Are they scented?
No, ReSEAcled Poo Bags are unscented.
How strong are they?
Strong enough to literally hold a brick - check out our social media!
How big & thick are they?
- 24cm from top to bottom excluding handles, 36cm including handles.
When opened, they are approximately 22cm wide. - 15 microns thick - enough to ensure clean, mess-free poo picking.
Why aren't they cheaper?
They cost more so it costs our planet less!
- Using recycled waste materials often costs more than creating virgin materials - a reason why most companies choose to make products out of new materials, when our planet is already overflowing with waste!
- Ensuring ethical and sustainable practices are adhered to throughout our supply chain also comes at a price.
- All ReSEAcled Poo Bags fund the further recovery of 5x their weight in ocean-bound plastic, making them the world’s first and only certified plastic negative poo bag. This is action against plastic pollution is included in their costs.
Where do I dispose of them?
In regular general waste bins and dog poo bins. These bags are not to be composted.
Do you increase oyster shell farming?
No additional demand is placed on oyster farming for ReSEAcled Poo Bags. Only existing waste shells are used.
Why do you use oyster shell waste?
The shell of an oyster represents more than 70% of its total weight.
This means that every year, processing oysters for food leaves behind millions of tons of waste shells – most of which are landfilled.
The calcite in the shells can be added to plastic to reduce its fossil fuel content (without compromising quality or functionality).
The mining of limestone for calcite is typically environmentally destructive, but converting waste shells to calcite is comparatively simple and requires less energy. It is also quickly renewable!
How many bags in a roll or box?
Each box contains 240 poo bags (unscented, with handles).
There are 15 bags on each roll and 16 rolls in a box.
Do you have any other sizes available?
Unfortunately, we only have one universal size at the moment which seems to suit most dogs.
However, please let us know if you would like smaller or larger bags and we can look into developing these!
Where are they made?
Xiamen, China.
We would ideally make them locally, but have been unable to find a suitable factory that could make them to our specifications and at an acceptable cost to the end consumer.
To help mitigate their impact, we ship our poo bags by sea and never fly anything in.
The manufacturer we partner with also has had a SMETA 4-pillar audit, that assesses labour standards, health & safety, environmental assessments and business ethics.
About Poo Bag Eco-Friendliness
How can these be more eco-friendly than cornstarch poo bags?
Cornstarch poo bags have been marketed as “most eco-friendly”, but the reality is very different.
They are still 50–80% fossil fuel plastic (PBAT), with only a small portion made from cornstarch.
They often brand themselves as “plant-based” or “plastic-free,” but in truth, they’re just another type of plastic.
Any cornstarch used has been chemically changed to become plastic polymers.
Producing them is hugely resource intensive, demanding large amounts of energy, land, water and chemicals, causing cornstarch poo bags to have a very large eco-footprint.
They also do not provide any environmental benefit after disposal:
- In the UK, dog waste is either incinerated or landfilled.
- In incineration, biodegradability makes no difference.
- In landfill, these bags don’t break down properly and can release methane (a potent greenhouse gas).
Studies also show many so-called compostable bags fragment into microplastics rather than disappearing.
ReSEAcled Poo Bags provide a much stronger environmental benefit, supported by data.
By reusing existing waste, ReSEAcled have a much smaller eco-footprint than cornstarch poo bags. They do not add "new" plastic to the system and conserve our planet's limited resources.
They also create a real, positive impact by directly reducing ocean-bound plastic pollution.
But... ReSEAcled Poo Bags are still plastic?
Yes – but not all plastic is equal.
ReSEAcled Poo Bags are made from plastic waste that already exists on our planet.
Instead of demanding fresh resources, we give existing waste a second life.
This way, you do not introduce "new" plastic into the system. Every bag also helps reduce the creation of new plastic, while conserving our planet’s limited resources by turning waste into purposeful materials.
We admit ReSEAcled Poo Bags are not a perfect solution, but data has showed they are the best option for our planet, given the waste systems we have available for dog poo bags.
What does plastic negative mean?
A plastic negative product removes more plastic waste from the environment than it adds when used and eventually discarded.
Every poo bag you use funds the recovery of one bottle's worth of ocean-bound plastic (9 grams).
This equates to removing 5x as much plastic from nature as is used in the poo bags, resulting in a net negative plastic impact.
Do your poo bags biodegrade?
No – and that’s intentional, as our current waste disposal systems are not suitable for biodegradable poo bags.
Most poo bags are incinerated, making biodegradability irrelevant.
If landfilled, biodegradable poo bags can actually be harmful.
The lack of oxygen there causes them to decompose, releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Unfortunately, being biodegradable is therefore not a useful or helpful characteristic of poo bags, because of where they will end up.
While ReSEAcled Poo Bags are non-biodegradable, they are made of plastic waste that already exists on our planet - so we don't add any "new" plastic or waste to the system.
