Adios Plastic Compostable Poop Bags No Handles Pink
Adios Plastic Poop bags are the most environment friendly dog poo bags with zero waste. They are 100% biodegradable and are home compostable. They naturally breakdown in 3-6 months, leaving nothing behind.
Made from plants and cornstarch, they are also super thick, strong and large. The size of each bag is 33 x 23cm and they are they are 20 microns thick.
Available in two colours - grey and pink, with the choice of 60 (4 rolls of 15) or 120 (8 rolls of 15) unscented bags.
What is the difference between biodegradable and compostable bags? Degradable bags are commonly mistaken for biodegradable bags. A degradable bag is a petroleum-based plastic bag that can take up to 1000 years to breakdown, all the while building up within the food chain having potentially devastating effects on the animals that consume them. Biodegradable bags are basically degradable bags with an EPI additive to speed up the breakdown process. It is not clear how long biodegradable bags with this additive take to breakdown and the science behind it is not widely supported. Aidos Plastic’s bags are 100% biodegradable and compostable – meaning that they will safely breakdown back into the Earth within 90 days.
How long does it take for these bags to decompose: Adios bags will decompose into water, carbon dioxide and biomass in approximately 90 days – when placed into a composting environment or compost system. No harmful chemicals are released into the environment during this process.
What are these bags made of: Adios Plastic bags are made 100% from plants, 40% Corn-starch, 50% PBAT (a biodegradable random copolymer) and 9.99% edible plant glycerine. All of which are completely plant-based materials and certified to EN13432 standards to be 100% compostable.
How thick are the bags? The bags are 20 microns thick, to give you an idea, most bags on the market are 15 – 18 microns thick. Adios Plastic provide the thickest bags on the market to stop any nasty accidents!
How strong are the bags? Adios Plastic poo bags are extra strong… to prove this, they tested the bags with a house brick! At 3.5KG in weight, the bag performed extremely well under this weight.
Adios Plastic is committed to reducing the 8 million tons of plastic that end up in our oceans every year. By offering plastic free alternative products.
Ben the founder of Adios Plastic had the idea for Adios Plastic originally in 2017 after he became aware of the devastating effects that plastic was having on the environment. Ben wanted to do something to help, but wasn’t sure what. He made changes in his life right away to reduce his single use plastic consumption. But he wanted to do more, a lot more and since he loves animals, he thought that producing something plastic free for pets would be great!
After months of research, Ben learnt that almost all dog poo bags on the market are not as eco friendly as they claim. Companies were, and still are green washing customers using clever marketing techniques.
Adios Plastic is here to offer consumers plastic free alternatives to everyday products. Our love of animals means that compostable poo bags is our launch product, but don’t worry we will have many more products to come!
