The difference between oxo-biodegradable and compostable is really important. While compostable bags decompose completely leaving behind no harmful chemicals; oxo-biodegradable bags leave behind micro-plastic particles as they decompose. These particles can be problematic as they are often made from petroleum products. Aidos Plastic’s bags are not oxo-biodegradable. They are 100% compostable to the EU standard of EN13432.

Adios bags will decompose into water, carbon dioxide and biomass in approximately 90 days – when placed into a composting environment or compost system. No harmful chemicals are released into the environment during this process.

Our poo bags are certified HOME compostable and Industrially compostable.

Our poo bags are extra strong… to prove this, we tested the bags with a house brick!

At 3.5KG in weight, the bag performed extremely well under this weight.

Our bags are made 100% from plants,40% Corn-starch, 50% PBAT (a biodegradable random copolymer) and 9.99% edible plant glycerine. All of which are completely compostable and biodegradable materials and certified to EN13432 and TUV standards for composting.

We have a whole article coming soon on composting at home.

Another popular method is to use a dog poo wormery, you can find these easily online with a quick google search of “dog poo wormeries” and they come with full instructions on how the process works.

If you not able to do any of the above, then a doggy poo bin or black bag would be fine. We find that with most doggy poo bins, the waste gets incinerated and compostable bags do not release the same toxins as what burning plastic does, do there is a benefit there.

Landfill sites will slow the process of decomposition so it’s much better for the environment to avoid placing compostable waste in landfill.
