The Ancol Zero Plastic Poop Bag Dispenser is a starter kit combining a bone-shaped bag dispenser with 12 compostable dog waste bags. The dispenser clips to a lead, belt loop, or walking bag so bags are always accessible on a walk, and the bags themselves are made from vegetable starch rather than conventional petroleum-based plastic. When the 12 included bags run out, the dispenser is compatible with refill rolls — including the Ancol Made From Plastic-Free Refill Pack (96 bags), also available at Hairy Dogs.

A practical switch for dog owners looking to reduce single-use plastic waste on daily walks without changing their routine.

  • Bone-shaped dispenser with clip attachment: Designed to attach to a lead handle, belt loop, or walking bag using the built-in clip. Compact, lightweight, and positioned so bags are accessible without searching through a bag or pocket. The bone shape is practical in-hand and recognisable from a distance.
  • 12 compostable bags included: Made from vegetable starch (corn starch) rather than conventional plastic. The bags look and feel similar to standard poop bags but are produced from plant-derived materials rather than petroleum. Each bag has tie handles for one-handed sealing.
  • Tie handles: Allow the bag to be sealed securely with one hand — useful when managing a dog simultaneously. The seal is reliable and the bag material is strong enough for normal use.
  • Compatible with refill rolls: The dispenser is designed to be kept and refilled. The Ancol Made From Plastic-Free Refill Pack (96 bags in 8 rolls of 12) is the dedicated refill, available separately. Other standard-width bag rolls are also compatible.
  • Plastic-free materials: The bags are produced from vegetable starch — a renewable plant-derived material. Ancol markets these as part of their Zero Plastic and Responsible Materials range.

How to use

Attach the dispenser to your lead, belt loop, or walking bag using the clip. Pull a bag through the dispenser opening before you need it. Use the tie handles to seal the bag securely after use. Dispose of sealed bags in appropriate dog waste bins.

Disposal note: These bags are made from vegetable starch and are designed to be more environmentally responsible than conventional plastic bags. Composting conditions (typically industrial composting facilities rather than home compost) are required for the bags to break down as intended. Dispose of sealed bags in designated dog waste bins or consult your local council on appropriate disposal routes for compostable materials.

Common questions

Are these bags actually plastic-free and compostable?
The bags are made from vegetable starch (corn starch) rather than petroleum-based plastic — so yes, they are plastic-free in the conventional sense. In terms of composting: these bags are designed to break down under composting conditions, but like most plant-starch bags, industrial or commercial composting facilities provide the right environment for that process. In a standard home compost bin or landfill, the breakdown timeline is less predictable. The most responsible disposal route is dog waste bins, where your local authority's waste processing will handle them appropriately. Ancol describe these as part of their Responsible Materials and Zero Plastic range.
What refill bags are compatible with the dispenser?
The Ancol Made From Plastic-Free Poop Bag Refill Pack (96 bags, 8 rolls of 12) is the dedicated refill and is available at Hairy Dogs. The dispenser also accepts other standard poop bag rolls of compatible width. If you want to continue using plastic-free bags, sticking with the Ancol refill pack ensures compatibility and consistency with the eco credentials of the starter kit.
How does the dispenser attach to a lead?
The dispenser has a built-in clip that fastens to a lead handle, belt loop, or bag strap. It's designed to stay attached during a walk without bouncing around significantly. The bone shape keeps it compact against whatever it's clipped to. It works with most standard flat lead handles and carabiner-style attachments.
Is this good value compared to buying bags separately?
At £4.49 for the dispenser plus 12 bags, the starter kit is a low-cost entry point — you're effectively getting the dispenser close to free relative to the bag cost. For ongoing use, the 96-bag refill pack at £8.49 (approximately 8.8p per bag) is the more economical option for regular dog walkers. The dispenser is designed to last — the ongoing cost is just the bag refills.
