225 Extra-Large Bags on a Large Single Roll

Earth Rated offers two different types of poop bag options:

Certified Compostable Poop Bags
These compostable bags are made from a blend of vegetable starches and PBAT and meet the ASTM D6400 standard for municipal composting as well as the EN13432 Home and Industrial standards for compostability. So what does that mean? If we look at the most stringent standard (EN13432) in a Home Compost environment, then at least 90% of the material will have degraded within 12 months at room temperature. This is obviously accelerated if you add the same material to an Industrial composting environment where there is larger control of heat and moisture.

If you’re using municipal compost, be sure to check whether pet waste is accepted in your local composting facility before dropping a bag full of poop in your compost bin. And if you are using a home compost bin, be sure to not use the resulting compost on food crops.

Dark Green Poop Bags
Our dark-green coloured bags are made from PE and for countries outside of the EU/UK, contain the Totally Degradable Plastic Additive (made by EPI) and fall within the definition of oxo-biodegradable. The TDPA additive is added to the bag mixture and allows an acceleration of the breakdown time (60% degradation within 24 months) when the bag is exposed to anaerobic landfill conditions (heat, oxygen, agitation and moisture). It is super important to properly dispose used poop bags in the trash. That way it’s destined for landfill and will be within a controlled environment exposed to the right conditions to breakdown.

EPI is the developer of Totally Degradable Plastic Additive (TDPA) which is the technology used in our green-colored bags. EPI testing shows that TDPA allows the bags to break down as it reacts to variables such as heat, oxygen and agitation, is non-toxic and produces no harmful residue. We invite you to visit their website where you can find some further information on how EPI works!

62% of our lavender scent is naturally sourced from essential oils derived from fruits, plants and spices. The remaining 38% is a binding agent that helps the scent adhere to our bags. The lavender scent accounts for 1% of the total make-up of our bags.

Our dark green-colored bags contain an EPI additive which accelerates the breakdown process, therefore, we recommend keeping them for no more than 24 months. We also suggest storing them in a dry, cool area, as light and heat can accelerate the breakdown process.

Our certified compostable bags are made up of vegetable starches, therefore, we recommend keeping them for no more than 12 months while also storing them in a dry, cool area.

Dry fingertips can sometimes make it harder to pull the bag open. If you are having trouble opening them, we suggest pinching the top of the bag to separate the sides or even slightly moistening your fingertips.

Still having trouble? Perhaps trying our handle bags with a wider opening could help!

Dark green-colored bags: 15 microns thick

Certified Compostable bags: 20 microns thick

Our handle bags are extra wide to clean up bigger messes and to accommodate bigger hands!

But we understand that XL dogs sometimes need XL bags! We also offer XL poop bags exclusively available online! 

None of our bags nor any of our packaging contains latex.

Our handle-bags or our XL bags are perfect for cat litter cleanups, as cat litter scoopers can easily fit through the extra-wide openings.
