Pooch Paper is one of the new products featured at the Shark Tank Panel An alternative to using single-use plastic bags to collect dog poop, this innovation is a chlorine-free bleached recycled paper which does the job very well
Pooch Paper founder Tracy Rosensteel appears on the ABC reality show to share her unique product called Pooch Paper
After owning a dog for years, this pet owner couldn’t help but think that aside from using a plastic bag, there had to be a better, greener way , to clean up after his canine companion
The Pooch Paper website reports that more than « 500 million single-use plastic dog waste bags are thrown into landfills each year in US alone, » according to company research
« These bags add to global warming problems linked to … micro-plastic pollution, » adds Pooch Paper website
Not only that, but « the combination of plastic and animal waste among the compressed waste in landfills results in the emission of methane into the air », explains the site
This emission of methane gas, which is a greenhouse gas, « absorbs heat from the sun, thus warming the atmosphere and affecting the climate Releasing large amounts of methane is particularly problematic in studies that show that in the first two years of emission, methane can be measured about 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, ”says Pooch Paper
Before being invited to showcase her product on Shark Tank, Tracy appeared on a Bold TV digital network to explain how she created Pooch Paper
Some time ago, she was hoping to find a way to do the right thing and clean up after her puppy, but also reduce her carbon footprint in the process.
Enter Pooch Paper, an easy-to-use product that claims to be 100% recyclable and also fully biodegradable
Tracy said she spent two and a half years working on her concept before finally creating her product which fulfills the role of replacing plastic bags for pet owners who are inclined to pick up their waste on floor
Due to legislation in March of this year banning single-use plastic, this innovator was able to easily market her product not only to retailers, but also to government-run recreation and park departments.
Made exclusively in the US, Pooch Paper will eventually be found in public places across the country if Tracy is successful
Pooch Paper, one of Shark Tank’s newer offerings, can be purchased in-store and online at Target, PetSmart, Chewy, and Walmart Additionally, the eco-friendly product can be purchased through the Pooch website Paper
The slogan for this innovation which debuts on Shark Tank tonight cleverly notes: « Save our planet, one puppy at a time »
