Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: I was contacted by BARK and they kindly apologized for their brand ambassador for going off-script and sharing false information about this product being "eco-friendly.". They took full responsibility for their mistake which I appreciated. Mistakes happen. They proceeded to give me a call to ask about my feedback about how they can make their product more environmentally friendly. They mentioned that they have been looking into updating the product in the near future to make it more green. I think they've learned that using interesting, green-sounding terms like "oxo-biodegradable" is so counterintuitive. Great example of a company owning up to mistakes and making a change about it! Original Review: I was totally green-washed into buying this product. I was at the dog park and a promoter/brand ambassador for this company came up raving about how biodegradable/compostable/eco-friendly these bags are. I was instantly intrigued and also they were having a deal where the first box would be free, so of course I went ahead and ordered them! Once they arrived, I noticed how plastic they felt. I was used to purchasing real compostable bags made out of corn starch and plant material before so I can instantly tell the difference. I see that the box says “oxo-biodegradable” and I googled it to see what exactly that means. Turns out, it’s still very much plastic and the only difference is that it breaks down *slightly* faster. This is the definition greenwash and it's unfair. If you actually care about the planet, don't be fooled by the term "oxo-biodegradable."
