eco friendly dog poo bags?

elsien

Decided to be a bit more ecofriendly, and i'm looking for a cheap source of biodegradeable bags. (Can't be doing with those cardboard thingies)
Problem is the cheapest I've found on line are £7 plus delivery for 100 :eek: , and I'm used to paying £1 for the cheapo poundland nappy sacks. Any one know of anywhere cheaper, or any practical suggestions for alternatives?
Thanks

check with your local council - ours gives them out free

or use degradeable sandwich bags? not sure of the price though

or try picking up nature babycare nappy bags I think they're about £1.50 for 50

Stumbled upon these guys, www.dgrade.co.uk - 250 biodegradable bags for £8.99 - includes free delivery too. I used to get the bags from pets at home as mentioned above, i was paying £5 for 2 packs of 50 bags but found that they only lasted a couple of weeks.

This company might be useful http://www.envirobag.co.uk/acatalog/Pet_Waste_Disposal_Products.html
They charge £31.66 for 1000 bags with delivey costs so would work out £3.17 for 100 to make it easier to compare.

I save all the plastic envelopes that come in the post comes in for empting my cats litter tray, not sure if they'd be strong enough for poopa bags, I know they're not bio-degradable but it does mean they get a second use.
