At FETCH·IT they believe in earth-friendly products. Their bags are made with cornstarch and certified to the highest European standards EN 13432. They are also certified and suitable for home composting!
Nobody wants a leaking poo bag! Fear not, these poo bags are extra strong, phew :) They can hold almost 2kg; that's one seriously large dog.
Biodegradable products will eventually disintegrate over time, usually over hundreds of years, into smaller pieces but these can still be harmful to organisms. These smaller pieces of plastic fragments are known today as MICROPLASTICS. Any product can be labelled as biodegradable as is does eventually break down, just may take millions of years!
Compostable bags, on the other hand, decompose into non-toxic organic matter which can be broken down to form a nutrient-rich soil or "compost". Compostable products are controlled by scientific standards, look out for the EN13432 logo. Yes, FETCH-IT bags have the logo :)
Worldwide, 2 million plastic bags are used every minute. Some countries have already banned single-use plastic bags. About 8 million metric tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually. Of those 236,000 tons are microplastics. Every minute a truckload of plastic is dumped into the ocean and this is set to increase by 10 times in the next two years. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.
They come in 5 rolls, perfect if you have a poo bag holder. Yes, it's cheaper to buy plastic, but at such a big cost to the environment. These work out at only 9p each.
Fully degrades In 12 Weeks
Leak & split proof bags
Suitable for everyone
Simple, they are real people who care. They're a super small start-up based in Manchester. Here is their story.
In April 2018 we bought our first ever dog (Coco). We noticed that cleaning up after the dog with conventional plastic poo bags was not going to help the plastic pollution problem. We decided to buy biodegradable bags which are readily available from many supermarkets and pet stores. But, after further reading, we found that these biodegradable bags can take decades to degrade into tiny microplastics. These micro-plastics are also making their way to our oceans and harming our beloved marine life.
As a result of this, last year we decided to find a more eco-friendly alternative to this, so we designed a compostable poo bag which is made from cornstarch. This means that the bag degrades within weeks into natural elements which aren’t harmful to the environment. We have also made every effort to make everything about our product eco-friendly including the packaging.
FETCH·IT exists because we care. When it came down to choosing between plastic or helping to save the planet, the planet won every time.
FETCH·IT was created so that you didn't have to choose between being a responsible dog owner and helping to reduce plastic pollution.
Check out the picture of Coco, he's a cutie.
