What makes the Alpha Pets bags different from other biodegradable poo bags?
Our Certified Compostable Alpha Pets dog waste bags are 100% biodegradable AND compostable (via European standards), made out of third-grade spoilt corn, normally a waste product left to rot by farmers.
With absolutely no EPI-additives or micro-plastics, our corn-based bags fully degrade and decompose in 3-12 months (depending on the disposal conditions), nourishing the earth instead of polluting it.
Their composition allows the bags to break down naturally and be consumed as food by microorganisms. Whether the bag of poop is thrown into a trash can or a bin dedicated to composting, it will naturally return to the earth within a few months.
Our ASTM D6400 certification, which is only given to products that actually compost, can vouch for that. Unfortunately, many poop bags that claim to be earth-friendly or biodegradable don’t actually break down within a year, and some never degrade at all. That’s why you need to watch out for what kind of bags you buy!
Products made of plastics that allege to decompose naturally in the environment are often “oxo-biodegradable,” meaning they contain chemical additives (such as EPI) that break down plastic into smaller fragments. Ultimately, these products can cause the same damage to the planet that any other plastic can.
So when it comes to truly earth-friendly single use bags, always choose compostable > biodegradable. Choose Alpha Pets!
How To Dispose Of The Used Bags Correctly:
To get the best results from our compostable plant-based poop bags, you have to dispose of them correctly. Here are a few options you can try:
- Home composting – Bury it. This option works best if you live in a rural area with space away from the house. Waste should be buried at least five inches underground, away from vegetable gardens and water sources. Look up DIY pet waste composting for more tips.
- Industrial composting – Transport it to an industrial composting facility near you that accepts pet waste. Because our bags are compostable and certified in Europe, they will be accepted in most facilities.
- General waste bins – Bag it and bit it! If you can’t compost it, you can also throw the used poo bags in your general waste bins to be taken to the local landfills, where the bags will decompose in 12 months.
Alpha Pets. For those who choose nothing but the best for their pets.
Mr M – Great bag’s for the money –
I must admit these poop bag’s are outstanding and I will be ordering more. I have also got my daughter to order some as the normal bag’s are not really fit for purpose. These are fantastic
Elaine Fisher – Excellent bags –
These poo bags are made of corn starch, so they are very 100% biodegradable. They are also very soft, so I can pop a couple up my sleeve.
Please do careful of other “Green” bags that looks ok similar but they aren’t made of cornstarch.
Planet friendly Poop Sacks –
First up, my pup is a smallish cockerpoo so his outputs are not huge but they are plentiful so I liked the idea of a 3 month supply per box. Compostable bags are important to me because of how many I get through so it’s good to see another brand on the market. These ones seem a little thinner than my usual brand but I have had no splits and they seem sturdy enough. I like the fact that they have tie handles and are unmissably bright green. They come folded up in a box with a perforated panel so you just pull out what you need, although I do seem to end up pulling more than a few. This also means that it is awkward if you want to put them in a poo bag dispenser but then again there is no leftover inner tube to lose under the table or collect in your pockets. Summary, great environmentally conscious poop containing product from a UK company.

Strong poo bags. Degradable.
Amy – An absolutely staple in our dog loving household! We couldn’t be without them! –
We absolutely love these poop bags, they are strong, easy to tie and even better compostable! Plus having a 3 month supply makes things so much easier so I know I won’t run out for ages! I recommend these to all my dog owner friends! ⭐️
Frederique – Good bags / ok price –
Good value for 300+ bags.
Anna – Good quality compostable poo bags –
I always buy compostable poo bags rather than biodegradable and these are a good price and good quality with handles. Will be buying these again
Fit for purpose and compostable –
I recently ordered these for the second time because I find they work well for us and I’m very happy to know they are compostable – i.e. NO microplastics left in the environment. As other reviewers have mentioned, it would be great if these could be manufactured in Europe rather than China where they are currently made, but apparently there are currently few or no manufacturers “who can produce 100% plant-based bags that are 100% plastic-free”. Fingers crossed that Alpha Pets might solve this problem in future.
Sturdy bags –
Excellent bags
Grace – They help me do my job as a dog walker! –
As a dog walker I go through a lot of these! And they have worked well for me, don’t split and have handles which is a plus!
Muddyspringer17 – Good quality, large and thick –
I really like these bags. Big enough, pleasant to handle, easy to use and thick enough to use with confidence, not thin and flimsy. No odour, plasticky or perfume (I am sensitive to fragrances and other chemicals). Have bought these 3 times now and wouldn’t want to go back to plastics.
Excellent Dog poo bags –
Spent a long time finding these, but they were a good choice. Large and strong.
mrs a e brown –
Happy customer. We chose these because they are bigger and biodegradable. So far we have been really happy with the strength and size of them.
Nicky – Planet friendly and do the job! –
Chose these because they break down completely without microplastics. In addition though they are really sturdy and I like how easy they are to get out of their box. Will certainly buy again and recommend!
Keith Sturgess – 5 out of 5 stars – Leakproof & sturdy –
Good quality and size with good lengthy tie handles.
Large sturdy bags that don’t tear and are easy to open. –
These are the best dog poo bags I’ve used. It’s the third time I’ve bought them. The bags are large , sturdy and easy to open. Most of the other biodegradable bags I’ve tried feel flimsy, are difficult to open and tear. – MS Belle
Robust and great value –
Great bags! Ecologically friendly, robust and a good price. We did our homework before buying these as the ones we used previously tended to ‘melt’ before we got to use them. We were looking for good quality and bags that were sturdy enough to last till they were used. These are much more robust. Our whippet sometimes suffers from loose stools which is not the easiest to lift (!) but these bags deal with it without any problem and they don’t perish at all in storage. We’ll definitely be sticking with this brand from now on
