Who Gives a Crap adds bin bags and dog poo bags ‘made from waste’

Toilet tissue challenger Who Gives a Crap has expanded into bin bags, food waste bags and dog poo bags.

The bin bags – available in 15-litre (rsp: £6/60), 30-litre (rsp: £7/40) and 50-litre (rsp: £8/40) – and dog poo bags (rsp: £7/200) are made from “super strong” 100% recycled plastic.

The TÜV Austria certified compostable food waste bags (rsp: £10/60), meanwhile, are made from plant matter. They are claimed to break down within a year in home compost, or within three months at an industrial facility.

All bags in the range are “leak and tear resistant” with easy-tie handles.

In line with Who Gives a Crap’s toilet tissue range, they feature an array of designs, with bold colours and geometric shapes. The dog poo bags feature illustrations of pooches.

They have hit Waitrose and Ocado shelves, as well as the brand’s webstore, today.

“Who Gives a Crap is so much more than just a toilet and tissue paper brand,” said chief commercial officer and UK & Europe lead Emily Kraftman.

“We’re always looking to find more sustainable household solutions, which is why we’re so excited to be expanding into an all-new product category, with our 100% recyclable and compostable rubbish bags.

“Plastic pollution is a huge issue for the environment, and plastic bin bags play a big part in this,” Kraftman said. 

“We thought an apt solution to this would be our own innovative rubbish bags, all made from rubbish.”
