Zola Zola Dog Poo bags are 100% biodegradable & compostable!
Did you know they are two different things? It’s ok if you don’t not many people do, but don’t worry, we’ve got you! And we’re here to let you know the difference.
Biodegradable means the materials will break down over time but sometimes they can still contain all the toxic crap that isn’t good for the environment. To us that just isn’t good enough so we’ve made sure our poop bags are compostable too –
Compostable means they break down into non-toxic, natural elements in a composting environment, turning into nutrient-rich soil without leaving any harmful residues. Seriously Zola Zola Dog poo bags are made from Cornstarch and don’t contain any hidden nasties, but it’s easy for anyone to say that so we’ve gone one step further to show we have the cred.
You know those logos on the package? Well, they aren’t just pretty to look at but they actually mean something.......They prove our dog poo bags are 100% compostable!
We’re proud to share that we’ve been verified by two big players in the eco-friendly world. TUV Austria and BPI are independent certification bodies who have awarded our poop bags some important certifications to PROVE that we mean business. Here’s what those pretty logos mean:
-
BPI Compostable:
The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) is a pretty big deal in North America, in fact, they are the only third-party verification of ASTM standards for compostable products in the region. To be awarded this certification from them means we’ve got their seal of approval.

TUV Austria:
OK compost home: This beauty guarantees that our poop bags are completely biodegradable and don’t need a lot to do it, in fact, they’ll break down even in your garden compost heap. The great thing about this award is that its not based on a standard, it sets the standard! It details all the technical requirements that a product must meet in order to obtain certification. It has been used and is recognised in Australia and across Europe.

TUV Austria:
Seedling compostable: To be awarded this certification means our poop bags are in compliance with EN 13432 and are recognised throughout the entire
European market as compostable.
