5 Tips for Sustainable Living with Pets
- Use eco-friendly pet waste bags
When you are going to dispose of waste starting from used food or feces, make sure to put it in an environmentally friendly waste bag or garbage bag.
You don’t need to be confused where to look for it because BIOPAC has issued pet waste bag products made from seaweed and of course environmentally friendly.
The pet waste bags that we produce are available in two types, namely gusset bags and L-sealed bags. Both can be chosen according to your pet’s needs.
Not only that, you can also use this pet waste bag for garbage bags at home or office, you know!
- Separate solid and liquid waste
Furthermore, don’t forget to separate waste in solid forms such as poop, cage mats, plastic, and tissue and waste in liquid forms such as pees and water.
Prepare a garbage bag for solid waste, then tie it tightly so that the smell does not spread, and dispose of it in a closed trash can.
For liquid waste, you need to use a plastic tub and then collect the liquid there and dispose of it through the sewer at home.
Try to prioritize environmentally friendly methods in disposal, OK!
- Use recyclable sand
So that you don’t get tired of managing their waste, the selection of sand for pet waste is also one of the important things.

- Teach to urinate and defecate in the toilet
You can teach your cat or pet dog to poop or pee in the toilet, reducing your work to clean it up and adding to the pile of garbage.
- Buy food in large quantities
Instead of buying food packaged in plastic or conventional single-use packaging, you should be able to buy food in bulk and then reuse the packaging used.
This can reduce the amount of plastic that accumulates in your home and minimize shipping/expedition costs due to multiple shipments in one shipment.
As an anabul owner, it is important that you always prioritize environmentally friendly ways when living side by side with them. Always pay attention to how you dispose of garbage so that it doesn’t pollute the Earth even more!
