Can&#8217;t I just use plastic grocery bags?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grocery bags are much thinner and therefore more likely to tear or leak. Because of the handles at the top, they often don&#8217;t tie super tight, leaving space for waste to slide out. Grocery bags are also not as convenient as they don&#8217;t come in a compact roll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I use dog poop bags?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your dog poops on the ground, tear a new bag off the roll. Open the bag. Fold the bag over your hand, so it covers your hand like a glove. Grab all the poop with your bag-covered hand. Pull the edges up and the poop down, so the bag holds the poop at the bottom. Tie the bag at the top. Dispose of the bag in a safe and legal way.<\/p>\n<p><b>Are poop bags biodegradable?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most poop bags, including the ones reviewed here, are now made with an additive called EPI. EPI breaks down the bags faster than regular plastic bags. However, to be technically considered biodegradable by the Federal Trade Commission, a product must completely deteriorate in a landfill environment within one year&#8217;s time. We are not aware of any poop bags that meet that requirement. But as stated, EPI bags are better for the environment than regular plastic grocery bags.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags Living up to its name, these poop bags come in recycled packaging so you can feel a bit better about buying hundreds of plastic bags.
