If you're an environmentally conscious pet owner, you'll want to make sure your poop bags are earth rated. Unfortunately, many poop bags that claim to be biodegradable don't actually break down within a year and some never degrade at all.
Instead, look for poop bags that are fully compostable. These are made from plant starches and meet ASTM D6400 standards for composting.

Biodegradable
When picking out a bag, it’s important to check the product’s Compostable Packaging. It may look like a green product, but it could be just another plastic bag that won’t break down in the trash or composting bin.
It’s also a good idea to compare the price of each pack with how many bags you receive, and try to find a thicker bag that won’t break or split when reaching down to pick up dog waste.
Earth Rated Poop Bags are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). These light green coloured unscented dog waste bags are 100% leak-proof guaranteed and can be composted in your home or a commercial compost environment where pet waste is accepted.
Compostable
Unlike many plastic poop bags on the market, earth rated bags are actually compostable. In fact, they are certified compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).
These environmentally friendly bags are made with a vegetable-based, plant starch biopolymer that degrades in 90 days when placed in a composting facility. The packaging and roll cores are also recyclable.
Compostable dog waste bags are a must for any responsible pet owner! They can be used at home or disposed of in municipal compost environments where pet waste is accepted.
The paw-fect alternative to green-colored poop compostable waste bags, these are BPI-approved and meet the ASTM D6400 guidelines for compostability. They are scent-free and 100% leak proof.
Each box includes 60 bags (4 rolls x 15 bags each). These tough, eco-friendly poop bags are extra long and strong to accommodate hefty loads without breaking, tearing or ripping.

Recyclable
One of the best ways to save the planet is to reduce waste and save money by using products that are made from sustainable materials. Earth Rated bags are no exception. They're made at a factory in China that's managed to meet North American standards for environmental and safety practices.
Unlike the majority of their competitors, the company's bags don't end up in a landfill. They're sent to a plastic recycling facility that converts them into pellets that are used for other purposes.
