Frequently asked questions
Are these actually compostable, or is this greenwash?
Yes, and we have the certs to prove it. Our bags carry OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL from TÜV Austria, plus ASTM D6400. In a healthy home compost they break apart within 180 days and finish as soil within a year. No microplastics. No "biodegradable" loophole.
What's wrong with "biodegradable"?
"Biodegradable" sounds like the right answer until you read the small print. The word has no legal definition, no timeline, no required standard. Most "biodegradable" bags are just plastic that breaks into smaller and smaller pieces of plastic over decades or centuries. Microplastics by another name. Compostable is different: the bag breaks down into nutrient-rich soil within a specified timeframe, and to make the claim we hold third-party certifications that audit the process. The difference matters when you're trying not to leave 400 years of plastic behind.
What are these actually made from?
Plant-based, primarily cornstarch sourced from American farms. The cornstarch is bioplastic-grade: strong enough to handle big dogs and big loads, soft enough to break down into compost in months instead of centuries. No petroleum-based plastic. No fossil-fuel byproducts. No surprise additives.
Will they still compost in a landfill?
Honest answer: not as intended. Landfills are oxygen-starved, so nothing composts well there. The good news: even in landfill conditions, our bags break down in roughly 5 years, compared to roughly 500 years for a standard plastic bag. The best place for them is a home compost pile or municipal compost collection - that's where they're designed to perform.
What happens if the roll gets wet before I use it?
Ideally, keep them in a dry, cool place. They're stable under normal humidity. A little moisture won't kick off the breakdown process. If a roll gets left wet for an extended period, they will start to compost on their own. That's not a defect. That's them doing exactly what they're designed to do.
What about the packaging?
What about the packaging?
Cardboard rollers, not plastic. Recycled cardboard box. We thought about every part of what arrives at your door, because shipping plant-based bags inside plastic packaging would defeat the point.
Where does the 10% of profits actually go?
10% of profits goes to rescue dogs, predominantly through our partners at the Soi Dog Foundation, who do extraordinary work supporting strays and rescues across Thailand. We also support other local rescues. Cumulative goal: 100,000 animals fed by 2030. We track every meal and we're transparent about where we are on that journey.
How fast do you ship?
Orders ship within 1-2 business days from our US warehouse, typically arriving within 2-5 days. Free shipping on every order. If something goes wrong, we want to know.
Why subscribe and can I cancel?
15% off your first subscription order, then 10% off every order after. Ships automatically so you never get caught mid-walk with empty pockets. Cancel any time from your account — no email gymnastics, no "please stay" guilt trips. We've heard the horror stories from other brands and refuse to play the same game.
