Why We Use Recycled Cardboard Cores in Our Poo Bags — And Why It Matters
When it comes to sustainability, every detail counts — even the core at the centre of your roll of poo bags. We’re proud to use recycled cardboard cores in our dog waste bags, and here’s why that small choice makes a big difference.
What Is a Cardboard Core?
A cardboard core is the tube in the middle of a roll of poo bags — similar to the one inside a toilet roll. While it may seem like a throwaway part, it plays a key role in how the bags are dispensed and stored.
Why We Chose Recycled Cardboard
-
Reduces Waste
By using cardboard made from 100% recycled paper, we help divert waste from landfills and give new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. -
Lower Carbon Footprint
Producing recycled cardboard uses significantly less energy and water than making new cardboard from virgin pulp. That means fewer emissions and less strain on natural resources. -
Plastic-Free Packaging
Many dog poo bags still come on plastic cores, which defeats the purpose of being eco-friendly. Our recycled cardboard cores are completely biodegradable and can be composted or recycled again.
Reuse Before You Recycle
Don’t toss that cardboard core just yet! Here are some fun and eco-friendly ways to reuse it:
🐝 Make a Mini Bee Hotel: Bundle a few cores together and fill them with small bamboo sticks or rolled paper to create a cosy bee habitat.
🧶 Organise Cables or Yarn: Use them to store string, wires, or wool neatly.
🎨 Kids’ Crafts: Great for painting, DIY rockets, or binoculars — perfect for rainy-day fun.
🌱 Seed Starters: Fill with compost and use as mini pots for seedlings. Plant the whole thing — it breaks down naturally!
It’s a Small Core, With a Big Impact
We believe sustainability shouldn’t be an afterthought. From the bags themselves — made with 65% post-consumer recycled plastic — to the roll cores, packaging, and beyond, we’re committed to eco-conscious design at every step.
So next time you pick up after your dog, you can feel good knowing that even the core of your purchase is helping the planet — and maybe even the bees.
