Are Biodegradable Dog Poop Bags Worth It?
Yes, but only if the bag is certified compostable. A bag that simply says “biodegradable” may be no better for the planet than regular plastic. A certified compostable bag is the one that delivers on the promise.
Four checks before you buy
1. A named standard. The bag should be certified to a recognised compostability standard, not just labelled “eco”.
2. A certification body. An independent organisation should register the product. The brand should say which one.
3. The raw material. Plant-based resins are a better sign than vague “plastic alternative” wording.
4. Where it is made. Local manufacturing means a shorter supply chain and a company you can hold accountable.
How Earthmate measures up
• Standard: NF T51-800:2015, a home compostability standard (see certification)
• Certification body: DIN CERTCO, with a downloadable test report
• Material: vegetable-based bioresins, not fossil-based resins
• Made in: our own facility in Ontario, Canada, run by a family-owned company since 2015
They are also strong enough not to break when wet, so going green does not mean a messier walk.
