ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:
- These dog poop bags contain a totally degradable additive
called d2w. Products made with d2w biodegradable technology look and feel like
conventional plastic. The difference is that if a bag or packaging made using
d2w escapes collection and ends up as litter in the open environment, they will
degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and unstoppable process
until there is nothing left in the same way as nature’s waste, and without
leaving toxic residues or microplastics behind
- The
d2w accelerates the natural process of oxidation until the product is no longer
a plastic and is instead a material which can be bio-assimilated (i.e. used as
a food source) by bacteria and fungi on land or sea
- Several
countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East have already legislated to
require everyday
-
plastic items to be made with d2w technology
- It looks and feels like ordinary
plastic in terms of strength, aesthetics, flexibility and optical
properties
- Included
at the manufacturing stage, at only 1%
- Biodegradable
products are tested according to ASTMD6954 and other international
standards. They were found to be Degradable, Biodegradable and
Non eco-toxic
- SASO and ESMA Approved
- Recyclable: d2w can be recycled with conventional
polymer and can be made with recyclate
- For more information on the degrading process please see: www.d2w.net
THE LAW AND DOG DIRT:
- While most dog
owners are caring, responsible individuals, there are still some people who do
not clean up after their pets.
- Dog Fouling is covered by the following laws: Environmental Protection Act (1990), Litter (Animal
Droppings) Order 1991; Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, The
Countryside Code.
- The
person in charge of the dog (not necessarily the owner) is responsible for
picking up the dog’s faeces.
- Anyone who fails to
clear up after their dog can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice of up to
£100. This varies between local authorities. If the case goes to court this
could cost the owner or person in charge of the animal up to £1,000.
- Some local authorities have taken things further and are
obliging dog walkers to be in possession of dog poo bags or a scoop. The
fines for being found without poo bags vary. The general rule is that dog walkers must carry enough bags to clean up throughout the walk and at
least two extras.
- UK
dog laws do not exempt an owner's excuse of 'not noticing' that their dog has
fouled
YOUR HEALTH AND DOG DIRT:
- Dog faeces can contain parasites that, if not cleaned up, can spread to grass. If this grass is eaten by pregnant cattle, it can cause them to lose their young. These parasites can also cause blindness in humans.
- Dog
dirt can contain the eggs of a type of roundworm known as the Toxocara worm. Contact
with infected dog poo can cause Toxocariasis, a rare infection caused by
roundworm parasites. The parasites are usually found in cats and dogs, and
are more likely to affect young children as they are most likely to come into
contact with soil contaminated with the roundworm larvae from dog/cat faeces.
- In
most people, the infection does not cause any symptoms and the parasites die
within a few months. Some people experience mild symptoms, such as a cough,
fever, headaches. In rare cases the larvae can infect organs such as the
liver, eyes, brain or lung and cause more severe symptoms. These can
include, fatigue, seizures, loss of vision, and breathing difficulties.
- For
that reason alone, it is very important not to leave your bagged dog poo on a
grass verge or in undergrowth or hung on a tree, as once the bag has
disintegrated, the poo is left where it could potentially still be harmful.
Please take your
poo bag to a dog poo bin, litter bin or home to your waste bin, please do not
leave it on the ground or hung on a tree.
Note: Owners
of assistance dogs who have a disability that prevents them from picking up
poo, for example a Guide Dog walked by a registered blind person, are exempt
from these rules. So too are
working dogs—tending or driving of sheep or cattle, working
with the armed forces, customs and excise or the police force.
