You’ve just walked in after a brutal day. Your dog’s giving you the look. You grab the leash, the poop bags… and suddenly, you’re on a rainy pavement, hand-deep in a plastic bag that feels like a supermarket receipt. Welcome to 2025.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
At MySweetPet.co.uk, we think a lot about rituals—the small, daily actions that define how we care. And yes, picking up after your dog is one of them. So why are we still using the same plastic bags that take centuries to decompose?
Let’s Talk Plastic—and Why It’s a Problem
Most poop bags are made from polyethylene, a petroleum-based plastic that won’t break down for 500 years. That means every poop you’ve picked up since 2001 is still somewhere. Probably intact.
But here’s the good news: there’s a better way.
Our biodegradable cornstarch dog waste bags are:
- Certified compostable (EN13432)
- Free from plastic, BPA, and toxins
- Soft, flexible, and won’t stick to your fingers
- Odour-trapping and leak-proof
They break down within 90–180 days in the right conditions. That’s less time than it takes to binge-watch a few seasons of your favourite series.
Feel Is Everything — Especially at 7am
Weird flex? Not really. When you’re fumbling around in the cold, texture matters. Our poop bags are silky, fabric-like, and tear-resistant. You won’t get that dreaded ‘snap’ mid-clean-up. They fit most dispensers and hand sizes. No drama.
Included Dispenser: Small Details, Big Difference
Ever clipped a poop bag dispenser to your lead only for it to rattle like a Christmas ornament? Ours is minimalist, secure, and doesn’t swing. It just works.
Did You Know…?
- The UK discards over 1 billion dog waste bags a year
- Most are plastic-based—even those labelled “eco”
- Your dog’s poop bag could outlive your grandchildren if it’s not compostable
But This Is More Than Just a Bag
Choosing plastic-free isn’t about being trendy—it’s about being awake. If your pet is family (and we know they are), then even their poop routine should reflect your values.
This is for people who believe that:
- Care doesn’t stop at cuddles
- Walks matter
- Products should align with ethics, not just branding
Boomers, millennials, Gen Z—what we share is simple: a refusal to treat pet ownership as disposable.
