The Rescue Hotel are delighted to announce we are officially working with Pet Impact, whose mission is to turn existing waste into something useful.
Here at The Rescue Hotel, we can only imagine the number of poo bags we get through in a single day. Like many dog lovers, we assumed that choosing a compostable poo bag automatically meant we were making the greener choice. However, with the help of Pet Impact, we discovered it isn’t quite that simple.
The reality is that what happens to a poo bag after it goes in the bin matters. Many compostable bags require specific conditions to break down, conditions that aren’t necessarily available in the waste system used for dog poo. Let’s not forget about “cornstarch” bags either!
That’s where Pet Impact comes in.
Rather than using new materials, their ReSEAcled Poo Bags are made from 95% recycled materials and every Pet Impact ReSEAcled poo bag funds the recovery of one bottle’s worth of ocean-bound plastic!
How cool is that! Though, we will let the experts fill you in on the rest. Read more from Pet Impact and learn about why they’ve chosen to do things differently: Poo Bags 101
The Rescue Hotel’s Co-Founder, Toria Acreman said,
“Like many people, I used to buy biodegradable poo bags because I assumed they were the most environmentally friendly option. After reading more about them a few years ago, I realised that wasn’t necessarily the case and made the switch. We want to partner with Pet Impact because it gives us an opportunity to spread such an important message and show dog owners that such a simple everyday choice can make a genuinely positive impact on the environment.”
We are pleased to tell you that if you use code TRH10 for 10% off your Pet Impact order, Pet Impact will donate another 10% of the sale to The Rescue Hotel.
