Our mission is in our name - to do the Right thing - for you, your pet, your neighborhood, your neighbors, and the planet. We want to make cleaning up after your pet as easy as possible so you can do the right thing without hassle.

Absolutely!

Part of doing the right thing is helping the planet as much as possible - to that end, we use only recycled materials to make our packaging. We even go the extra mile to use a recyclable paper core for our rolls instead of plastic.

We manufacture our bags in China at a facility responsibly managed that provides good working conditions, fair wages, and medical plans.

We are proudly located in the USA

Our ecosystem just isn’t designed to handle the amount of dog waste that is generated by our pet population. In fact, the EPA classifies it as an environmental pollutant. Just one gram of dog poop can contain over 23 million bacteria.

Our EARTH FRIENDLY brand bags are made with EPI’s degradable additive technology, making them 100% degradable, What is EPI? The principal chemical additives sold by EPI are proprietary oxo-biodegradable plastic additives, Totally Degradable Plastic Additives (TDPA®). EPI's technology has been designed to control and manage the lifetime of products made from the most common plastics used by modern society. The bags are also super strong as well as being environmentally friendly, meaning you can avoid any nasty accidents! As an alternative to our green-colored bags, we offer our vegetable based bags, These bags are vegetable starch-based and can be disposed of in a municipal compost environment where pet waste is accepted. ​

Due to the updated U.S. Federal Trade Commission regulations, as applied to this industry, they cannot meet the regulatory definition of biodegradable as they cannot be proven to break down within a regulated time frame in every type of landfill environment.

Epi is a company that develops the TDPA (totally degradable plastic additive) technology used in our bags. This allows bags to break down faster and produces no harmful residue. Visit their website to learn more at epi-global.com(http://www.epi-global.com)

We recommend keeping our bags that contain EPI addative for no more than 26 months, and storing them in a dry, cool area. We recommend keeping our vegetable based bags for no more than 18 months while also storing them in a dry, cool area.

Absolutely! Our larger size bags are probably the easiest to use for this purpose.

The time it takes for our degradable bags to decompose can vary depending on where there are disposed of. With standard bags taking as much as thousands of years to degrade you can guarantee that our bags will be long gone by then! Our bags tested to break down in approximately 18-24 months in a bioreactor landfill.

Yes! Even the cardboard rolls we wrap our bags around are recyclable, as well as our packaging, meaning that nothing has to go to landfill.

It is always best to pinch the top of the bag to help separate the sides. However, you can always try purchasing our bags with handles to make it more convenient for you.
