Pet Impact ReSEAcled Poo Bags

• Waste-based poo bags are better for our planet. Stop creating new waste by choosing poo bags that re-use it! Reusing waste has clear evidence-based benefits, such as cutting carbon emissions, reducing energy use, conserving scarce resources and minimising waste sent to landfill and incineration.
• Putting a sustainable waste stream to better use. Oysters are widely considered a sustainable food source, but millions of tons of waste shells are landfilled every year. Adding waste shells to poo bags reduces the use of fossil fuels and improves the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. Processing the shells also provides a livelihood for local communities.
• Guided by science, not market trends. Compostable and biodegradable poo bags do not reliably breakdown as claimed, still contribute to microplastics and can be just as bad, if not worse, than normal plastic - especially if not disposed of correctly (i.e. in compost).

Why ReSEAcled Poo Bags?

1. Reducing waste going to landfill & incineration: Instead of making new plastic from virgin materials, we re-use waste that was already destined for landfill and incineration, meaning less new waste is sent there.
2. Smaller carbon footprint: Recycling plastic requires significantly less energy and produces significantly fewer carbon emissions during production.

3. Sustainable renewable content with a social impact: Every year, millions of tonnes of oyster shell waste is thrown away. We're giving it a second life! Unlike plant-based plastic, oysters are widely considered sustainable as they're vastly less resource intensive, don't require GMOs and don't compete with human food production or contribute to deforestation. Processing the shells also provides a livelihood for local communities.

4. Reduces plastic pollution & supports communities most impacted by it: Our recycled content means less new plastic is produced. Additionally, through our Plastic Negative certification, we commit to funding the ethical removal of low value ocean-bound plastic. With ReSEAcled poo bags, you're not just disposing of waste responsibly; you're actively contributing to a movement that reduces plastic pollution at source and supports communities most impacted by it.

From Harm to Harmony: Poo Bags Restoring Ocean Balance

8 million pieces of plastic make their way into the ocean every day.

Recycling and reducing are vital, but they're not enough.

To tackle the plastic crisis, we must incentivize the removal of existing hard-to-recycle, low-value plastic waste from the environment.

ReSEAcled poo bags do just that, while empowering marginalised communities worst affected by the crisis.

Their unique Plastic Negative certification by rePurpose Global and partnership with Ocean Co., means that for every unit of plastic used in our poo bags, we remove five times that amount of plastic from nature, or the equivalent of one bottle's worth of plastic!

Once a source of pollution, our poo bags have transformed from being part of the problem, to being a key part of the plastic pollution solution.
