Compostable dog waste bags

We make dog waste bags.
We're not going to tell you they save the planet.

Frank is a compostable dog waste bag brand built on one idea: say what's true, certify what you claim, and stop pretending a poo bag is an environmental achievement.

↓ Scroll down. We've got a few things to admit first.

01

Compostable doesn't mean what the packaging usually implies.

Most "compostable" bags need an industrial composting facility — specific heat, specific microbes, specific conditions your garden compost bin will never reach. Ours are certified to EN13432, which is a real, tested, independently verified standard. It is also not a promise that your council collects this material, because most don't, yet.

We could have left that bit out. Most bags do.

02

The bag's home-compostable. What's inside it isn't.

Our bag is certified to OK compost HOME as well as industrial. But dog waste carries pathogens that should never go near a compost heap — so whatever the bag can do, what's inside it belongs in the general waste bin. Every time. And real UK garden heaps rarely hit the temperatures the certificate assumes anyway — certified, not magic.

03

One better bag doesn't undo everything else.

We're not going to tell you that switching bags offsets a flight, or that you're "saving the planet one walk at a time." You're using a slightly better material, made a bit more thoughtfully, from a company that would rather tell you the truth than sell you a feeling.

That's smaller than most marketing promises. It also happens to be accurate.

What the category usually says

We read a lot of dog waste bag packaging
researching this. Here's the pattern.

What gets printed
What we print instead
"100% compostable — kind to the planet"
Certified compostable to EN 13432 — industrial and home. Dog waste still goes to general waste.
Vague leaf logo, no standard named
The actual standards, named: EN 13432 and OK compost HOME.
"Eco-friendly" / "sustainable" / "green"
A description of the material, and what it can and can't do.
"Join us in saving the planet"
Thanks for giving a sh*t. (Literally and figuratively.)

What's actually in the box, briefly

PBAT and cornstarch. 20 microns. Tie handles. 120 bags, 8 rolls of 15.

Navy, because black bags and dog mess is a combination nobody needed. Built to hold, not to split. Certified because we checked, not because it sounded right.

Honest isn't a marketing angle here.
It's just less exhausting than the alternative.

Frank is arriving soon. No vague leaf logos with nothing behind them — real certifications, with real numbers. And the honest bit most brands skip: dog waste still belongs in the general waste bin. Just a well-made bag, and the truth printed right on the box.
