How it does good

Pick up after your dog, for planetary good

• 

  responsible sourcing

  Earth Rated manufactures their bags at their own facility in China. Responsibly managed according to North American standards, the facility provides excellent working conditions, good wages, and government medical plans. Now onto the actual bags. Unlike traditional plastic bags, their dark green bags contain an EPI additive which helps them to break down. And their certified compostable bags are made from vegetable starches and have been BPI-certified. The raw materials that make their wipes called Veocel® Viscose Fibres are derived from sustainable wood sources and are FSC-certified.

  low carbon footprint

  Earth Rated’s bag suppliers ensure that all plastic waste generated from production is put into a plastic recycling machine where it’s turned into pellets to be used later. The most energy-intensive parts of the production are done at night to minimize electricity impacts.
• 

  supporting key causes

  Giving back is at the heart of Earth Rated. They’ve helped almost 3,000 organizations and donated over 6 million poop bags. On top of their dog shelter and rescue initiatives, they’ve also donated to a number of community organizations like DESTA to support employability of black youth and Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition addressing anti-Asian hate amid the pandemic.
• 

  recyclable packaging

  All of Earth Rated’s packaging is made from recycled materials, and they use recyclable paper cores for their poop bag rolls instead of plastic. Their light green bags are BPI-certified compostable and are made from vegetable starches.
