Pet waste removal change

With over five million pet dogs in Australia and 1.5 tonnes of dog waste over its lifetime, where do all these dog waste bags go?

Truthfully, many dog owners are still using conventional plastic dog bags and disposing of it in the rubbish bin, ending up in landfill. From there, it often takes hundreds of years for plastic bags to fully break down.

Australia’s leading manufacturer and eco-conscious warriors, Biogone, have created the world’s first landfill-biodegradable dog waste bags that are considered to break down 90 per cent faster than the conventional plastic bag.

Biogone’s lower cost landfill-biodegradable dog poop bags have been designed to fully biodegrade in only a few years, and home compostable dog poop bags within a few of months in landfill, compared to regular pet waste bags that can take up to hundreds of years to fully decompose.

Biogone dog waste bags are also made from recycled plastic.

To help meet your sustainable goals, Biogone have both landfill-biodegradable and home compostable council parks and gardens dog waste bags available, along with mountable dog bag dispensers.

Equally important for environmental considerations, landfill-biodegradable bags do not have a limited shelf life, and they do not fragment into microplastics over time.

Biogone also have landfill biodegradable and home compostable bin liners available for your operations and offices.
