Global environmental regulations are increasingly strict, especially in communities and public places. Traditional plastic pet waste bags are facing gradual elimination. This analysis discusses the regulatory trends and market performance of the EU and the United States. Analysis shows that “certified compostable” and “reliable leak-proof” have become the core elements of brand upgrading. For brands that pursue sustainability, compliance and market advantage, it is imperative to switch to truly compostable pet waste bags.
The market structure is being reshaped by a series of legislations.
EU and UK: According to the Disposable Plastics Directive, member countries are banning the use of traditional plastic pet waste bags in parks and communities, and promoting compostable alternatives.
Regional ban in North America: Vancouver, Toronto and other cities, as well as California and New York, have enacted laws to phase out disposable plastic products, including pet waste bags.
Certification and compliance of products is a passport to enter the compostable product market. The laws set clear benchmarks for compostable pet waste bags. Selling compostable pet waste bags, the products must hold international certification such as TÜV or BPI, which is not only the legal requirement, but also the basis for consumers to identify the authenticity.
The Trend of Consumers and Market Performance: Transition to Sustainable Certified Products
The market data and consumer behavior confirm this shift. Composting pet waste bags have become a best-selling category on mainstream e-commerce platforms such as Amazon in major markets such as the United States. This growth is driven by consumers’ demand for functional products and certified environmental protection products. Clearly showing that the products with credible compostable certification continue to receive favorable comments and higher purchase intention shows that pet owners are supporting real compostable products with practical actions.
Brand value can be rebuilt by adopting certified products. It makes the brand change from a “convenience provider” to a “responsible partner”, thus building loyalty and gaining positive social media reputation in the highly competitive market.
The success of compostable pet waste bags depends on two key factors.
The product performance: Leak-proof is very important. Health is the fundamental need. High-performance compostable film is comparable to traditional plastics in tear resistance and leakage resistance, which requires advanced resin formula and processing technology.
Third-party certification (such as TÜV OK compost HOME, BPI, ABA) is the only credible proof that the product can be completely and safely transformed into compost under certain conditions. Lack of certification will directly lead to the lack of market trust.
