Oh Crap Marks an Exceptional Milestone: 38 MILLION Dog Poop Bags Saved from Landfill!

Geelong, Victoria - 07 Sept 2023: From humble beginnings in a Geelong kitchen to a brand recognised for its immense environmental impact, Oh Crap has achieved another significant milestone: preventing 38 million plastic dog poop bags from choking our landfills.

Just how important is this achievement? Lining up all these saved plastic bags would span a distance even greater than from Geelong to Antarctica and back! Instead of this monumental stretch being laden with plastic, which lingers for aeons, it's now marked with a biodegradable alternative.

Every day, Australia's five million dogs contribute to 1.2 tonnes of waste. Shockingly, up to 4% of landfill is just dog poop - all wrapped up in traditional plastic bags. The compostable alternative provided by Oh Crap decomposes within three months, presenting a monumental shift in our approach to waste.

Oh Crap's 'Chief Crapologist', Bruce Hultgren, remarked, "In 2014, I questioned the logic of placing organic dog poo in a plastic bag. Today, we're a family of 83,462 dogs, all making an immense difference. The stories from our #OhCrapFamily are a testament to a shared commitment to a better planet."

The Not-so-dirty Details of the Oh Crap Bags

• The bags compost in 3 months, 100%, completely disintegrated!
• Innovative plastic alternative technology called cornstarch!
• Oh Crap Dog Poop Bags last for 12 months plus when stored in cool dry conditions.
• Oh Crap Compostable Dog Poop Bags start from $9.99 AUD

Driven by partnerships with organisations like the RSPCA and the Guide Dog associations, along with a passionate community, Oh Crap's mission isn't just about sales. It's about creating a sustainable, responsible future, all while celebrating every saved bag.

So, what lies on the horizon for this eco-champion? With 38 million bags already accounted for, the future holds even more promise.
