Sprinkle, Sweep, Smile: How Eco Pawz™ Outperforms Dog Pads and Grass Patches

Why Pet-Friendly Venues and Owners Need Better Cleanup Solutions

Dog owners, pubs, cafes, and councils are all facing the same challenge: how to manage pet mess quickly, safely, and sustainably. Disposable dog pee pads and indoor grass patches have become popular, but they come with hidden problems—landfill waste, odour issues, and high costs.

That’s why more venues and pet parents are turning to Eco Pawz Cleanup™, the all-natural adsorbent powder made from attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth. With a simple sprinkle, absorb, sweep, Eco Pawz instantly removes urine, faeces, vomit, and odours—keeping surfaces hygienic, compliant, and stress-free.

Recently, Eco Pawz Cleanup™ was tried and tested at Pound Paws Dog Day at The Golden Sheaf Pub in Double Bay. Staff used it to manage dog mess on hard outdoor surfaces, showing just how effective it is at keeping patrons happy and in keeping with regulatory hygiene standards.

The Ugly Truth About Pee Pads and Landfill

Disposable dog pee pads may look convenient, but they’re a landfill nightmare. Made from plastic backings, absorbent gels, and synthetic fibres, most of them are non-biodegradable. With millions of pads tossed out each year, they pile up in municipal waste streams, taking decades to break down.

Even eco-friendly pads made from plant-based fibres like bamboo, sugarcane pulp, or kenaf—while more sustainable—still rely on frequent disposal. They’re marketed as biodegradable or compostable, but in reality, many end up in general landfill where composting programs aren’t available.

During National Landfill Week, it’s important to highlight this reality: pads and indoor grass patches may shift the waste problem, but they don’t eliminate it.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives: Where They Fall Short

There are more sustainable pet toilet training products emerging:

  • Natural real grass patches (DoggieLawn, Piddle Patch, Bark Potty, Potty Plant) – grown on mats, designed to compost, recyclable game changers.
  • Eco-friendly pads – made from bamboo, sugarcane pulp, or kenaf, with biodegradable claims.
  • Washable dog pads and towels – reusable, machine washable, marketed as sustainable dog potty training aids.

These options sound greener, but they still come with cost, effort, and waste trade-offs: washing uses water and detergent, grass patches need regular replacement, and eco pads depend on composting systems that many municipalities don’t offer.

Why Eco Pawz Cleanup™ Is Different

Unlike pads and potty systems, Eco Pawz Cleanup™ is not a toilet substitute—it’s a cleanup revolution. Instead of generating more waste, Eco Pawz manages dog accidents at the source by absorbing liquids and solids, neutralising odours, and preventing spread.

  • Quick and Easy – Sprinkle, wait, sweep. Done.
  • Hygienic & Compliant – Perfect for pubs, cafes, and councils under strict public health regulations.
  • Eco-Friendly – 100% natural, biodegradable, and soil-enriching instead of landfill waste.
  • Safe for Paws & People – No harsh chemicals, safe around children, pets, and food areas.
  • Versatile – Works on hard surfaces, turf, kennels, concrete, and indoor floors.

For pet owners, it’s a cost-saving, stress-free upgrade. For pubs and councils, it’s a compliance tool that helps prevent angry patrons, complaints, and fines.
