“A third of households in the UK have a dog, and will use nearly 10 billion dog waste bags this year alone. Our innovative Project Harmless®Poop Bag is made of medical grade, water-reactive, non-toxic, and micro-plastic free material; it can rapidly break down in our oceans and landfills, posing no harm to wildlife, marine life or the environment.” said George Greer, Co-Founder and CEO of Project Harmless.
“There is nothing like this in the market, and we are proud that Project Harmless has introduced an entirely new category of dog waste bag for environmentally conscious dog owners." George added.
“Project Harmless has created an innovative and sustainable product to address the impact of harmful dog waste bags. What Project Harmless has achieved in such a short period of time is tremendous. Everyone in Britain should be very proud of this purpose-driven business.” Said Pól Ó Móráin, Advisory Board Member of Project Harmless and CEO of Carbon Collect.
