Idea Exchange: These biodegradable bags mean business

We have always used plastic bags with either our name or a veterinary product name on them for dispensing products to clients. While browsing in a pet boutique, I noted that a large selection of biodegradable waste disposal bags are available. The bags come in a variety of colors, and you can even get some with handles. We are now using these bags to dispense products to our clients. While I understand that branding is important, dispensing bags usually end up in the trash anyway. Recycle-reuse—this is a win-win!
