Review on Earth Rated Extra Thick and Strong Dog Poop Bags - 900 Leak-proof Unscented Bags, 60 Rolls with 15 Bags Per Roll, 9x13 Inches, Includes 2 Leash Dispensers by Debbie Markovich

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good bags, but definitely not eco-friendly

From a purely functional standpoint, these are quality dog bags at a good price (large $35 unscented green box means each roll is around $0.50). While the pouches aren't the thickest I've used, they don't look like the wafer-thin ones that make your hand feel like it's about to burst. In a way they are right. Plus, it also makes separating the packages easier - they tear apart easily and I've never had trouble opening them either (**However, the blue stickers they put on each new roll have a very strong adhesive and I almost always have ripped the part of the packaging they were attached to (be aware of this before attempting to start a new roll) Another nice feature this bag has is a hard plastic bag holder although I definitely didn't use two per box need (more on that later) they are good quality, twist up and have strong velcro for attaching to leashes and the like, in general they took what was .as I said and apart from the stupid strong blue stickers on each roll , this is a good buy. Thing is, other than the box they come in, there's nothing recyclable or eco-friendly in these bags (just their flimsy white bin liners are technically biodegradable). These are plastic bags - straight forward and simple. Also, two other arguments against it being eco-friendly: first, the fact that you can't buy those big boxes (that's the best deal on bags) without always getting a hard plastic bag holder, and second, they really reduce waste If you want, they will make pouches without the extra paper tube in the middle of each roll (I've bought many other brands that can, greatly reducing unnecessary waste). So finally. Don't be fooled into thinking these are 'green' dog litter boxes - they might not be the worst, but they certainly aren't the best in that regard. At the same time, they say they work well and at a good price.
