UPCO® launches Eco-Friendly “Pooch Paper”
UPCO® of St. Joseph, MO, is pleased to announce the launch of the eco-friendly Pooch Paper. A new, USA produced product in the pet industry focused on decreasing the amount of plastic used on animal waste. Pooch Paper is an environmentally safe paper alternative to plastic waste bags.
Environmental Facts
Per Bio Plastic News1, approximately 500 million plastic poop bags are used annually throughout the world. That’s lot of plastic! Our globe deserves better, and this eco-friendly option is a great step forward in helping keep our earth thriving.
Banning single-use plastic bags is a hot topic. Plastic bags are already banned in 68 countries, worldwide. Help us by joining the fight on single-use plastics, by trying a plastic free alternative to curb detrimental effects on the environment.
It is no wonder plastic bags have been the primary method of dog poop removal for lots of dog owners, as it is cheap and convenient. At some point, we must take responsibility to find products that help and not harm our planet. We’ve only got one place to live. Let’s take care of our earth, one small step at a time.
Our Thoughts
“We always appreciate the opportunity to promote and sell eco-friendly products. Animal waste is bio-degradable it only makes sense that the discard option should be as well. I hope pet owners adapt to the idea of change and give this product a fair shot as it could make a huge difference in the way of being environmentally conscious.” says Kyle Evans, UPCO® President.
Choose the eco-friendly option for your furry friend. They would want you to!
