The Truth About Eco Poo Bags
Why ReSEAcled Poo Bags Are the Only Evidence-Backed Choice for Planet-Friendly Dog Owners
Dog owners are more environmentally conscious than ever, but the world of “eco” poo bags is full of misleading claims, vague promises, and products that don’t actually solve the problem they claim to fix. At Mac&Betsy, we only introduce products that truly make a measurable difference — backed by real data, third-party verification and transparent science.
That’s why we’ve chosen to stock ReSEAcled Poo Bags, the first and only certified Plastic Negative poo bags in the world, with a full independently verified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These are bags that don’t just sound sustainable — they are proven to be.
In an industry where greenwashing is common, ReSEAcled stands apart.
The only poo bag backed by real science. Made from waste, certified Plastic Negative, and proven to cut carbon, water use and fossil fuels.
Plastic Negative: What It Really Means
Most “eco” bags try to reduce the problem. ReSEAcled actively reverses it.
Every single bag funds the recovery of five times its weight in ocean-bound plastic through rePurpose Global. That means that for every roll you use, more plastic is being removed from vulnerable coastal communities than you’re putting into the waste system.
This isn't a marketing slogan. It’s certified, audited and traceable.
Built From Waste, Not From Fresh Resources
Unlike typical bags that rely on new plastics or crop-based materials, ReSEAcled bags are made from:
65% recycled HDPE
30% recycled oyster shell waste (a natural source of calcite that reduces fossil fuel demand in the manufacturing process)
This is waste that already exists, transformed into something useful instead of requiring virgin materials. It’s circular thinking in action.
The First & Only Poo Bag With a Full Life Cycle Assessment
Lots of brands claim to be greener. Only one has the data to prove it.
A third-party LCA (Eco Action, 2025) compared ReSEAcled to other leading poo bags across 16 environmental impact categories. The results were clear: ReSEAcled significantly reduces fossil fuel use, carbon emissions, water use, land use, and ecotoxicity.
In other words, it performs better across the entire lifespan of the product — from raw materials to disposal.
No assumptions. No guesswork. Just measurable impact.
Not all poo bags are equal. ReSEAcled removes five times its weight in ocean-bound plastic and is the only bag with a full Life Cycle Assessment.
The Myth of “Plant-Based” and “Biodegradable” Bags
Many owners assume plant-based = better. Unfortunately, the science tells a different story.
ReSEAcled’s research highlights three major problems with plant-based or biodegradable bags:
They are still forms of plastic and shed microplastics.
They require industrial composting facilities that do not exist for dog waste.
In landfill, they decompose incorrectly, releasing methane — a potent greenhouse gas.
And because they demand new agricultural materials, they compete with human food production and require fresh land, energy, and water.
ReSEAcled avoids all of this by using waste that already exists and designing the bags for the real end-of-life scenario: incineration or landfill, where biodegradability is not an actual advantage.
Tackling Ocean-Bound Plastic Where It Matters
Every box supports marginalised waste workers in regions most affected by plastic pollution.
This creates:
Fair, stable income
Improved local waste infrastructure
Cleaner coastlines and waterways
ReSEAcled doesn’t outsource responsibility — it invests directly in communities on the front line of the world’s plastic crisis.
The Real-World Impact of Every Single Bag
Let’s break down what happens when you choose ReSEAcled:
You stop new plastic from being created.
You save existing waste from landfill or incineration.
You remove 5x the bag’s weight in ocean-bound plastic.
You support waste workers in high-impact areas.
You choose a product proven by science, not marketing.
It’s the most comprehensive environmental benefit any poo bag currently offers.
Designed for Dog Owners Who Want to Do Better
ReSEAcled bags are strong, reliable, comfortable to open, and practical for everyday use. The sustainability credentials are the bonus — but the performance is still exceptional, which is why they’re rated 4.9 stars across 551+ reviews on Pet Impact’s platform.
Eco claims that stand up to scrutiny. Recycled materials, third-party verified data, and real impact with every walk.
This is a bag for dog owners who want facts, not fads. Impact, not illusions.
The Bottom Line
There is no perfect poo bag — but ReSEAcled is the closest the industry has ever come to a scientifically validated, responsibly designed, socially positive solution.
At Mac&Betsy, we’re proud to back products built on truth, transparency, and genuine environmental progress. ReSEAcled poo bags aren’t here to make you feel green. They’re here to ensure your choices actually count.
A box of 16 rolls is £15 — and every roll makes a measurable difference.
