Cat waste should not be composted, as its composition can be quite toxic.

Cat waste should always be scooped from the litter box and flushed down the toilet. There are a number of new biodegradable cat litters on the market, which makes the “flushing process” easier on your plumbing and safer for the environment. Using these biodegradable cat pan liners to dispose of the remaining biodegradable litter makes good environmental sense.

Biodegradable cat pan liners are non-allergenic. Cats can be allergic to plastic and other known allergens. Allergies usually build up over time from constant contact with the allergen. Calicos, Tortiseshells, Black cats and Siamese cats are more prone to allergies than other breeds.

If you suspect your cat has an allergy (red, itchy rashes), consult your veterinarian to determine the source. It is best to use hard-fired ceramic bowls, instead of molded plastic, for serving your cat food. Using a biodegradable cat litter may protect your cat from certain chemicals. Using non-allergenic liners is an environmentally safe way to further protect your pet.
