WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Key Features
TÜV Austria OK Compost HOME certified
full biodegradation at ambient backyard temperatures (20–30 °C) within 12 months — a categorically stricter standard than industrial compostability, verifiable in TÜV Austria's public registry
Eight-point star-seal base
radial weld distributes load evenly across the base — construction tested to hold 500 ml of standing liquid for 4 hours without seepage, so sharp-edged waste never blows out a single seam
15 μm home-compost-optimized film
PLA+PBAT+corn-starch blend engineered for ambient degradation; the lightest gauge in our dog range keeps per-unit cost competitive without sacrificing pickup hygiene
Odour-control mineral additive
slows smell build-up inside the bag during extended collection cycles — a real difference for multi-dog households and municipal dispensers in warm climates
EN 13432 + ASTM D6400 alongside
one SKU clears retail and municipal procurement requirements across EU and North American markets — the OK Compost HOME mark sits on top of both
Compostable to the last gram
no PE liner, no separate plastic components — the entire bag biodegrades with zero microplastics left behind

CERTIFICATIONS
Certifications explained
OK Compost HOME — TÜV Austria
The reference standard for backyard compostability: 90%+ biodegradation within 12 months at ambient home-compost temperatures, independently verified and audited annually. Certificate verifiable on TÜV's public database.
EN 13432 — EU Compostability Standard
European industrial-compostability standard: 90%+ biodegradation within 6 months plus disintegration and ecotoxicity testing.
ASTM D6400 — US Compostability Standard
The US equivalent of EN 13432 — required by most North American municipal compost programs for accepted compostable products.

USE CASES
Applications
Municipal Dog Waste Programs
public dispensers in parks and trails — a certified home-compostable bag removes the contradiction of handing out fossil-plastic bags to clean up the environment
Pet Retail & E-Commerce
the OK Compost HOME mark is a shelf-level differentiator against "biodegradable" claims that do not hold up — a certification your retail buyers can verify themselves
Apartments & Property Management
bulk roll-refill supply for pet stations — 8,100 bags per carton keeps replenishment cycles simple for multi-building portfolios
Veterinary Clinics & Shelters
high-volume daily consumption — one large facility switching to certified home-compostable bags removes hundreds of kilograms of fossil plastic from its annual waste stream
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Designed for single-use dog waste collection — not reusable. Not suitable for cat litter or other pet waste with high moisture content that may accelerate pre-use degradation. The 15μm gauge is optimized for hygienic handling during waste pickup; do not overfill or use for heavy non-waste applications. Home compost certification applies to the bag material only — follow local guidelines for pet waste disposal.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I really compost these in my backyard with dog poop inside?
The bag itself is OK Compost HOME certified and will biodegrade in your backyard compost within 12 months. However, we recommend NOT composting dog waste in backyard compost used for edible plants — dog feces can contain pathogens (E. coli, salmonella, parasites) that home compost piles may not reach sufficient temperatures to kill. The best practice: use the bag to collect waste, then dispose via municipal pet waste collection or a dedicated pet waste composter that reaches sanitization temperatures.
How do these compare to Earth Rated and other popular brands?
Most popular dog bag brands (including Earth Rated's standard line) are conventional plastic and will never biodegrade. Earth Rated's "plant-based" bags contain some bio-based content but are not certified compostable. ESINLE bags are TÜV Austria OK Compost HOME certified — independently verified home compostability. We are approximately 10–15% more expensive per bag than conventional brands at retail volumes, but the certification difference is categorical, not incremental.
What is the shelf life of these dog bags?
At recommended storage conditions (20–25°C, 40–60% RH) in original packaging, shelf life is 12+ months. The thin 15μm gauge makes these bags slightly more sensitive to high humidity than thicker products — store rolls in sealed packaging until ready to use. A roll in a standard leash dispenser will remain usable for 3–6 months under normal conditions.
What does it take to start a private-label home-compostable dog bag program?
Custom production starts at 500 kg — roughly 60 cartons of finished goods. Options include your brand on the bag, custom roll counts (15, 30, or 60 bags per roll), custom core diameters for proprietary dispensers, and retail-ready packaging. Lead time is 15–25 days for standard production, 25–35 days with custom printing.
Can these bags go in municipal organic waste or green bins?
Only where your municipality explicitly accepts certified compostable bags with pet waste — acceptance varies by city. The OK Compost HOME mark guarantees the bag itself biodegrades in a properly managed home compost pile within 12 months; disposal of the waste inside depends on local collection rules for pet waste.
What is the difference between "compostable" and "biodegradable" dog bags?
"Biodegradable" is an unregulated claim with no time frame — most bags carrying it are conventional plastic that fragments into microplastics. "Compostable" with an OK Compost HOME or EN 13432 mark means an independent certifier verified 90%+ biodegradation into CO₂, water and biomass within a defined period. Our bags are TÜV Austria certified, and the certificate is verifiable on TÜV's public database.
