Compostable Pet Waste Bags

Made from BPI-certified plant-based PLA/PBAT, our pet waste bags are produced for residential, commercial, and municipal waste programs that route organics to industrial composting.

What sets our pet waste bags apart

Right-thickness for waste type. 0.65 mil for light dry waste, 0.85 mil for kitchen organics, 1.0–1.2 mil for commercial loads.
Drawstring closure. Integrated PLA/PBAT drawstrings reduce spillage during transfer.
Puncture-tested. Wall thickness validated for typical commercial-volume loads.
Municipal program compatibility. BPI + EN 13432 + ASTM D6400 — accepted by most US, EU, UK, and Australian municipal organics programs.

Who buys our pet waste bags

Municipal organics programs

City-run curbside organics collection. Bags must meet program-specific certification (typically BPI in the US, EN 13432 in EU).

Commercial foodservice

Restaurants and cafeterias separating food waste at-source. Heavier-thickness bags (0.85–1.0 mil) handle wet kitchen organics.

Residential eco-conscious brands

Direct-to-consumer home-composter and waste-bag brands. Often want printed, branded bags.

Hospitality & hotels

Daily housekeeping bag swaps. Standard 13- to 30-gallon bags in case quantities.

Certifications and compliance

Every SKU on this page is BPI (US), EN 13432 (EU), and ASTM D6400 certified for industrial composting. Material formulations use only plant-derived feedstocks — no PFAS, no oxo-degradables, no fossil-plastic intermediates. Our certificate trail back-references the same factory the products ship from, so procurement and compliance teams can verify chain-of-custody from compounding through finished goods.

This is one branch of the broader Bags range. Other related sub-categories:

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Stock SKUs ship by the case from finished-goods inventory; printed and OEM runs go through art-file proofing, plate or digital setup, and quality control before release. Standard MOQ is around 5,000 units for printed orders, with cost efficiency improving steeply at 10,000+ units and full-pallet or container volumes. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks after artwork approval, plus ocean freight for international shipments.

Frequently asked questions about pet waste bags

What thickness do I need for my use case?

Light dry waste tolerates 0.65 mil; wet kitchen organics need 0.85–1.0 mil; heavy commercial waste needs 1.0–1.2 mil. Read our trash bag size guide for a full sizing matrix.

Does the drawstring also compost?

Yes — drawstrings are made from the same PLA/PBAT blend as the bag body, so the entire bag composts as one unit.

Will these tear if I overfill?

Bags are rated for typical loading per thickness. 1.2 mil handles up to 30–40 lb commercial loads; for heavier specs, contact our team.

Are they BPI certified?

Yes — BPI + EN 13432 + ASTM D6400. Most municipal organics programs accept BPI-certified items; check your local program for specifics.

Can we get printed/branded bags?

Yes — OEM and private-label runs from 5,000 bags. Pantone color-matching available.

How long is the shelf life?

12–18 months in cool, dry storage out of direct sunlight. Compostable bags break down faster in heat and humidity.

Will they break down in my home compost pile?

No — industrial composting only. PLA/PBAT needs sustained 55–60°C and active microbial activity, conditions home compost piles don’t typically reach.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — worldwide shipping by case, pallet, or full container. Lead time 4–8 weeks depending on order volume.
