FAQ’s

What are Little Green Dog Bags made from?
Most dog bags contain polyethylene, but our alternative is made from PLA, PBAT, and glycerin. That’s it: a fully biodegradable, 100%-home-compostable material.

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).

How should you 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.
