It’s like Russian Roulette when using them to pick up dog shit. Although I have to say they seem to have gotten a lot better lately. Either that or my dogs just shit a lot more and I go though them faster.
Well the plaatics industry now sells plastic bags that break down into microplastics pretty fast (and are therefore by legal definition “compostable”). Just FYI, had missed that development too… I now use doggy bags made from corn starch, they are better than the ones I used a few years ago, but I do not know if they have environmental problems, too.
