In a category that has historically been functional, muted and price-led, Adios Plastic is proving that even the most everyday pet essentials can become brand-led, engaging and commercially strong.
With its vibrant compostable dog poo bags, wide range of retail formats and growing consumer recognition, Adios Plastic is helping retailers rethink the dog waste category, transforming a low-engagement necessity into products that customers actively seek out.
Now, through a new UK distribution partnership with Pet Fellas, Adios Plastic is expanding its presence nationwide, making it easier than ever for independent pet shops and chains to access the range.
Turning a necessity into a brand customers ask for
Dog poo bags are a guaranteed purchase for dog owners, but rarely an exciting one. Adios Plastic was created to challenge that mindset by combining certified compostable materials with bold design and strong shelf impact. Proving that sustainability and commercial appeal can work hand in hand.
Bright, playful colourways immediately differentiate the range on shelf, stopping customers in their tracks. Once picked up, shoppers discover a product that is strong, easy to open and reliable, turning first-time buyers into repeat customers.
Retailers report that customers increasingly ask for Adios Plastic by name, a rare advantage in a traditionally own label dominated category.
Designed for how customers actually buy
One of Adios Plastic’s strongest retail advantages is how well the range supports real purchasing behaviour.
Customers often trial the brand for the first time at till point, purchasing a single roll presented on a clip strip or countertop display. Once they’ve experienced the product, many return to purchase larger multi-packs, driving repeat visits and increased basket value.
This natural trade-up journey makes Adios Plastic a low-risk, high-reward addition to store layouts.
Why retailers choose adios plastic
- Customers ask for it by name
- Strong repeat-purchase behaviour
- Eye-catching colours that stand out instantly
- Easy staff talking points
- Proven trade-up from single rolls to multi-packs
Hero SKU: the rainbow box
Among the range, one SKU consistently leads performance: the Rainbow Box, featuring four different coloured rolls in a single pack. This format has become the fastest-moving option, appealing to customers who enjoy variety and want something fun as well as functional.
For retailers, the Rainbow Box works particularly well as:
- A first introduction to the brand
- A giftable option
- A visually strong shelf or counter feature
Sustainability without the sermon
Adios Plastic’s sustainability credentials are clear, but carefully communicated. The bags are certified compostable to EN13432 and TÜV Austria HOME standards, designed to break down under the right composting conditions. The brand is also a certified B Corp and a member of 1% for the Planet.
Importantly, Adios Plastic recognises that for most customers, design and colour are the initial hook, with sustainability providing reassurance and long-term loyalty.
This balanced approach avoids greenwashing while still meeting the expectations of today’s eco-aware pet parents.
A brand that resonates with modern dog owners
Adios Plastic appeals strongly to younger pet parents, but its reach is broad. Families have also embraced the brand, with many reporting that children enjoy choosing their favourite-coloured bags, turning an everyday chore into something surprisingly positive.
The brand’s playful tone, strong visual identity and limited-edition seasonal designs (particularly Christmas releases) have also made Adios Plastic an increasingly popular gift purchase, further widening its appeal.
A range built for retail flexibility
The Adios Plastic range currently spans around 30 SKUs, offering:
- Single rolls
- Multi-packs up to eight rolls
- Handled and non-handled options
This breadth allows retailers to tailor their offering to their customer base while maintaining a cohesive look on shelf.
The brand supports retailers with:
- Clip strips
- Countertop displays
- Shelf-ready packaging
- POS and reusable social assets
These tools make Adios Plastic easy to merchandise across store sizes, from independents to multi-site chains.
