PRESS RELEASE: 15,000 individuals have come together to change the world with #OhCrapFamily Oh Crap – changing the world one poop at a time
Geelong, Victoria: Today, Oh Crap passed yet another milestone – 15,000 people have become customers and joined the Oh Crap family! So what does this mean? Well, in addition to saving an incredible 4 MILLION plastic dog poop bags from landfill, Oh Crap have also now amassed 15,000 customers! Each of these individual Aussies has made the conscious decision to switch to non-plastic dog poo bags and make a huge difference, in a small way.
Why have these individuals decided to make the switch? Clearly, they understand the impact that plastic poo bags are having on the environment, and how Oh Crap is changing the face of waste. Oh Crap’s dog poop bags, made from cornstarch, are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. There is 1.8 tonnes (1800kg’s) of waste produced every day by more than three million Australian dogs. Up to 4% of landfill is dog poop, in the ground in plastic bags that will take thousands of years to break down. In comparison, Oh Crap’s corn starch bags are gone in three months.
Here’s what the team at Oh Crap have to say about the company and their second milestone in a month! :
“It is so invigorating to know that there are 15,000 customers out there who understand and share our cause, and want to make a difference with Oh Crap dog poop bags” exclaims Oh Crap Marketer Henry Reith.
“We are ecstatic to have hit this milestone!” declares Bruce, Oh Crap founder. “Firstly, we saved 4 million plastic poo bags from landfill and that was incredible. Now, to know that we have 15,000 customers who are actively making a change with the help of Oh Crap – well, it is heartwarming.”
The customers certainly love Oh Crap – all you have to do is look at the Oh Crap social media streams to see how much the people (and four-legged friends) using Oh Crap bags love their non-plastic poop bags!
