ReSEAcled Poo Bags

No, ReSEAcled Poo Bags are unscented.

Strong enough to literally hold a brick - check out our social media!

• 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.

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.
  

In regular general waste bins and dog poo bins. These bags are not to be composted.

No additional demand is placed on oyster farming for ReSEAcled Poo Bags. Only existing waste shells are used.

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!

Each box contains 240 poo bags (unscented, with handles).

There are 15 bags on each roll and 16 rolls in a box.

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!

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.

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, proven by data.

By reusing existing waste, ReSEAcled have a much smaller eco-footprint than cornstarch poo bags. They also create a real, positive impact by directly reducing ocean-bound plastic pollution.

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.

Every bag helps reduce the creation of “new” plastic, while conserving our planet’s limited resources by turning waste into purposeful materials.

A plastic negative product is one that takes out more plastic waste from the environment than it adds, when used and eventually discarded.

Each and every poo bag you use funds the recovery of one bottle's worth of ocean-bound plastic (10 grams).

This equates to removing 5x more plastic from nature than used in the poo bags, creating a net negative plastic result.

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.
