Little Green Dog Poop Bags (60 Pack)

Sixty home-compostable bags, five rolls of twelve. For a dog that goes once a day, that is roughly two months' worth.

Each roll is 6cm across and holds 12 bags, so you can drop into a jacket pocket and leave the other four in the cupboard. The bags open out to 32cm by 22cm, bigger than a sheet of A4, and 20 microns thick. That is big enough for a Great Dane.

They tear off cleanly at the perforation, and we designed an easy-open top, so you are not standing in the wind pinching at the edges.

The bags are made from plants and certified home compostable, which means they can go into your own compost heap at home. The roll sits on an FSC cardboard core. Unopened, a pack keeps for more than 12 months.

Are these bags home compostable or just commercially compostable?

What’s the difference?

Little Green Dog was one of the first NZ companies to produce certified home-compostable poop bags. Being home compost-certified is a much more difficult status to attain, as the product has to break down in a more natural backyard compost setting. Home-compostable products are generally made from thinner materials, usually require somewhere around 20°C to 30°C to break down, and they’re given a longer time period to do so (usually 90% degradation in 365 days).

What certification do you have for these bags?

We hold the Seedling certification under EN13432 for general compostability, registration number 7P2277 and TUV Home Compost certification S1069.

How should people dispose of them?

Composting your pet’s poop bags at home is a great way to independently close the waste loop. The best option is to keep a second compost bin at home which is separate from your main compost and is only applied to non-edible crops like flower gardens. You can’t put dog waste in compost you are going to use with edible plants.

How many bags on a roll are there?

There are 12 bags per roll. We are the only 12 bag/roll producer anywhere in the world that we know of. We had to go to 12 bags because of the thickness of our material, if we used 15 bags then they were too thick to fit in a standard dispenser.
