FAQs

• HOW SHOULD I DISPOSE OF BUM BAGS?

  Our biodegradable poo bags are made from corn starch and are therefore home compostable. Having said that; it’s best to limit their use to non-edible plants (for obvious reasons!). They can also be binned with organic matter as they will begin to break down once exposed to oxygen, with zero microplastics left in their wake.

• HOW LONG DO BUM BAGS TAKE TO DECOMPOSE?

  The time taken for our biodegradable and compostable poo bags to decompose will vary depending on how they are disposed of. In industrial composting, the bag will break down very quickly. Home composting may take slightly longer. Whichever way you look at it, it’s considerably quicker than the time it takes  for a plastic dog poo bag to break down. This process can literally take hundreds of years :(

• HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY CAT’S LITTER?

  Give your puss the best throne in town! Do a daily spot-check to scoop out any poops. You might want to do this more regularly if they've let off a real stink bomb. Replace all of their litter at least once a week to keep things fresh.

• HOW SHOULD I DISPOSE OF PICK OF THE LITTER CAT LITTER?

  Make sure to cover the bottom of your cat litter tray with approximately 2-5cm of our stink-absorbing, non-clumping pellets. Use a cat litter scoop to remove any soiled pellets on a daily basis and replace with fresh pellets as necessary and you can rest assured that all nasty niffs will be banished for good. You can dispose of soiled pellets in a sealed bag along with appropriate household waste.

  Feline like a compost warrior? Well, we’re here to help! The pellets are non-clumping and 100% biodegradable so all you have to do is remove your cat’s poop and add to your home compost. Please ensure that you only use compost for non-edible plants, because, well.. No human wants to eat that (we hope!).
  
  Also, don’t forget to change the contents of your cat’s litter tray completely each month and wash using a mild detergent. 

• IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

  We want to do our very best for the planet we share with our furry sidekicks. One way we can make a difference (and help you make a difference, too) is by keeping sustainability top of mind when it comes to the way we package our products. If there’s a way to make our packaging even greener, you can bet we’re on a mission to sniff it out…

  Pick of the Litter cat litter is compostable and the bag itself can be disposed of in your home recycling bin. Bum Bags are biodegradable & compostable, plus the box is made from FSC wood. This can be disposed of in your household green bin.
