Want to reduce your pet’s "carbon pawprint"? Start with their waste bags! Unlike regular plastic bags that sit in landfills forever, compostable bags are made from plants like cornstarch. They're designed to break down completely into natural elements, leaving no harmful plastic behind.
But here's a key tip: "compostable" is not the same as "biodegradable." True compostable bags meet strict standards, while "biodegradable" can just mean the plastic breaks into tiny pieces.
Disposal can be tricky. While these bags are great for the planet, most cities can't accept pet waste in their composting programs due to bacteria. However, using a certified compostable bag is still a better choice, as it's made from a renewable resource. Look for a D6400 certification on the packaging when you're shopping!
