Furry Mate – Plastic Free Cat Litter Bags
All cat-owners know just how much waste a cat produces—not only do they need to excrete biological waste, but we need to use liners and bags to get rid of this litter as well. Owning a pet naturally means more waste. There is no way around it. But we can always work to reduce our cat’s carbon paw print to contribute towards a healthier, eco-friendly world.
The question is, is that even possible?
Zero waste cat litter bags seems like a far-fetched option with the increased use of non-biodegradable plastic products due to their low costs. Even if we can’t completely reach this goal, we can at least take steps where possible to minimize our furry mate’s negative impact. The best part is, your cat won’t even feel the difference, and you can relax knowing you took a step in the right direction.
Before we tell you how, let’s look at the problem we are aiming to curb.
The Bane of Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution is one of the most concerning environmental problems faced by our planet. The staggering use of plastic products has engulfed the world in a battle. Plastic is being produced at a faster rate than it can decompose, leaving much of the planet swimming in a sea of discarded plastic. This poses a risk to animal, marine and human life.
Why is Plastic Harmful?
Most plastics are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is nearly indestructible. Most bacteria are unable to decompose PET plastics, which seep into the ocean by rain or wind, causing water pollution. Plastic releases harmful chemicals, which also cause air pollution. Since plastic takes forever to break down, the environmental impact is long-lasting.
Here are a few eye-opening statistics that highlight the detrimental impact of plastic pollution on the planet:
- Plastic ingestion claims the lives of 1 million marine birds and 100,000 marine animals every year
- An average person consumes 70,000 microplastics every year
- 8 million tons of plastic end up in oceans each year
- By 2030, greenhouse gas emissions are expected to amount to 49 million metric tons if plastic production continues
How Can We Fight Plastic Pollution?
The simplest solution is to stop using plastic and replace it with more eco-friendly materials wherever we can. Plastic bags are used in a variety of products: shopping bags, poop bags, and cat litter tray liners. The destruction these products cause is unimaginable. Plastic bags take 500 years to decompose and only a minute percent of these are recycled.
A whopping 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide every year. It is probable that one of the plastic bags you used choked a marine creature or bird to death. Are you sure you want to play a part in this mass killing?
Here’s how you can help
