What’s ASTM D6400 and EN 13432?

Cat litter bags to replace store plastic bags I bought these for cleaning the cat litter pan. I have been using the store plastic bags (which I no longer get, bought reusable) and have felt bad doing so since they don’t degrade and are finding a way into the oceans. These bags are easy to open, sturdy and high quality. I wanted a bag that was completely compostable. Most of the ones that are actually for cat and dog poop aren’t fully compostable and if they are they fall apart (rip) and are poor quality. The only thing for me is they…
Convenient, Compact and Durable Excellent way to carry small plastic bags for disposal of diapers, wipes or any small to medium mess. The storage container is a canvas type material with velcro closure and a nice clip. Great price for a well made useful and attractive item.
Contains the odor well. I was tentative about this bag since it isnât scented, but it held in the smell really well! I chose it because itâs compostable and I am creating so much waste with diapers as it is, so itâs a small step towards being more earth conscious. I like that it has the clip on dispenser, though most of the time I just have one of the rolls in a handy outside pocket on my diaper bag.I bought some for a friendâs baby shower as well.I would buy again.
