Biodegradable bags require LOTS of oxygen for breakdown to occur, which is sparse when buried in a mountain of landfill (exactly where your poo bag ends up if you bin it) and in this case, the poo bag remains intact exactly like a plastic bag. Compostable poo bags are made from plant-based ingredients such as vegetable or corn starch, which sounds planet friendly, right? Unless you are planning on starting your own compost heap in the garden, most local authorities cannot accept compostable poo bags with food and garden waste.
So what happens to the poop bags? You've guessed it, back in landfill. “BAG IT BIN IT” and dispose of your waste properly to help take care of our planet.
