The Ancol Made From Plastic-Free Poop Bag Refill Pack contains 96 compostable dog waste bags in 8 rolls of 12 — the dedicated refill for the Ancol Zero Plastic Poop Bag Dispenser starter kit, and compatible with most standard poop bag dispensers. Made from vegetable starch rather than petroleum-based plastic, these bags look and feel like conventional poop bags but are produced from plant-derived compostable materials. At £8.49 for 96 bags, this refill pack works out at approximately 8.8p per bag — significantly more economical than the starter kit bags for ongoing daily use.

Made by Ancol Pet Products Ltd. Plastic-free, compostable vegetable starch material. Tie handle design.

  • 96 bags in 8 rolls of 12: Each roll loads directly into the Ancol dispenser or any standard dispenser that accepts a roll of equivalent width. 96 bags represents approximately 13 weeks of daily use for a single dog or 6–7 weeks for two — a practical bulk quantity for a household with regular use.
  • Vegetable starch construction — no petroleum plastic: The bags are made from corn/vegetable starch rather than conventional oil-derived plastic. They perform like a standard bag in terms of strength and handling but are produced from a renewable plant-derived material. The Ancol Made From range is built around responsible materials sourcing.
  • Tie handles: Allow one-handed sealing — useful when managing a dog on a lead simultaneously. The same tie-handle design as the bags included in the starter kit, ensuring consistent handling across both products.
  • Compatible with most dispensers: The rolls are a standard size and fit the Ancol Zero Plastic bone-shaped dispenser as well as most other poop bag dispensers. If you're using a non-Ancol dispenser, check the dispenser's roll width compatibility before purchasing.
  • Two-year shelf life: Compostable bags naturally begin to break down over time — a property of plant-based materials. Ancol recommend using these within two years of manufacture for optimal performance. Check the best before date on the pack and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to use

Insert a roll into your poop bag dispenser. Pull one bag through the dispenser opening before use. After collecting waste, use the tie handles to seal the bag securely. Dispose of sealed bags in designated dog waste bins or appropriate waste disposal.

Disposal note: These bags are designed to break down more responsibly than conventional plastic, but composting requires the right conditions — typically industrial composting facilities. Dispose of sealed bags in dog waste bins and consult your local council on appropriate disposal routes for compostable materials in your area.

Common questions

Are these the same bags included in the Ancol starter kit dispenser?
Yes — same material, same tie-handle design, same roll format. The starter kit (Ancol Zero Plastic Poop Bag Dispenser, also available at Hairy Dogs) includes 12 bags to get you started; this refill pack is the ongoing supply. The rolls are identical and load directly into the same dispenser.
Are these genuinely plastic-free and compostable?
The bags are made from vegetable starch (corn starch) — a plant-derived material rather than petroleum-based plastic, so yes, plastic-free in the conventional sense. In terms of composting: these materials break down under composting conditions, but like most plant-starch products, industrial composting facilities provide the most reliable environment for that process. At home compost or in landfill, breakdown is less predictable. The most practical disposal route remains designated dog waste bins, where your local authority's waste processing handles them. Ancol describes this range as part of their Responsible Materials and Zero Plastic product line.
Will these fit my existing poop bag dispenser?
These rolls are a standard size and are compatible with most poop bag dispensers including the Ancol Zero Plastic dispenser. The vast majority of roll-format dispensers take standard rolls of this width. If you're using a non-standard or unusually small dispenser, check its roll width compatibility before purchasing.
Why do compostable bags have a shelf life?
Plant-starch materials are designed to break down — which is exactly what makes them a better choice than conventional plastic. But that also means they begin that process over time, even in storage. Ancol recommend using these within two years of manufacture. Keep the pack sealed, store it somewhere cool and dry away from sunlight, and check the best before date when you buy. If you use poop bags daily, 96 bags will be used well within that window regardless.
