Beco Introduces Post

As part of its continued commitment to helping reduce the environmental impact of pets, Beco, a recently certified B Corp, has moved to making its unscented and mint-scented poop bags from 100 percent recycled materials. With the new recycled composition, the bags are specifically designed for park bins and general waste, company officials said.

A majority (96 percent) of the company’s customers dispose of their dog’s waste in park bins and general waste, according to a 2021 consumer study by Beco. And, after two years of research and development, the company has now launched bags made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.

Beyond giving waste another life, when Beco achieved carbon neutrality in 2022, the company’s measurement found that recycled PE has a carbon footprint 86 percent lower than virgin plastic, and further research found that recycled PE is 44 percent more energy efficient to manufacture, officials said.

As part of the launch, Beco has expanded its home compostable range to include new sizes, redesigned its 100 percent PCR dispenser and home compostable bamboo pet cleanup wipes—all of which will be featured at the Only An Ocean booth (4250) at Global Pet Expo, which will be held in Orlando, Fla. March 22-24.

Working to use business as a force for good, Beco is certified as carbon neutral, donates 1 percent of every sale to environmental causes, and is committed to reducing its impact, officials said. Only An Ocean is proud of Beco’s team and their on-going commitment to strive for sustainability.
