The ONLY certified, 100% post-consumer resin, dog waste bag. Meaning that no new plastic was made to create this bag. We've done the research for you. These bags are without a doubt the most sustainable dog waste bags you can find.
Why we will never sell compostable dog waste bags:
If dog waste is not accepted for commercial composting in your area, then compostable bags will have no environmental benefit, with the exception that it does not use oil resources to produce. Dog waste is not recommended for home composting as heat is not sufficient to kill pathogens in dog waste.
There is no doubt about it, 100% Post Consumer Recycled dog waste bags are significantly better than compostable dog waste bags.
When doing your research on which dog waste bags to buy, please be careful! It was ridiculous how many “eco-friendly”, “biodegradable”, and “compostable” dog waste/trash bags that are being sold that are simply not. Most all of them are made in China where we've learned that the way they make them is really not the best.
The Purple Poop Bag Company sells us these bags naked (without individual boxes for packaging), in order to further reduce their waste.
Made in America (not China)

Made from waste plastics that have already went through its life cycle and are being diverted from landfills to be made new.
ZW USA is the oldest independent supplier of commercial dog waste bags and stations. They sell directly to cities and businesses (so there is no middle man or extra mark up), which is the main reason their bags are so affordable.
For years they've been committed to mainstreaming more eco-friendly dog waste bags, as they believe there is no reason to use virgin plastic in dog bags when we have so much plastic that could be diverted from landfills instead.
Approximately 500 million plastic poop bags are used annually across the world. Plastic bags are produced from raw fossil fuels such as oil. It's why 10% of our oil supply goes to just making plastic.
Have been looking for a truly sustainable option for doggie bags for months and finally stumbled across this site! I bought the bags and couldn't be happier! They're thick and do the trick. Also 200 bags for this price is a steal in my opinion especially knowing they are from recycled plastic.
