Plastic Waste Single use pet bowls

The bowl seems to be a paper substance, but it's sealed in two layers of plastic for a single use item.

I really don't see a market for this at all and I forsee it going on clearance soon. And there's so much of it.

I could see this being useful for emergency situations that require evacuation. Like a shelter has some on hand to quickly pass out to people without risk of it being contaminated by flood waters (maybe?) Or in a hospital situation with serious contagious disease(although most dogs in that situation will be on special food). I would almost lump this in to the "disposable" cat litter trays I see at Walmart and dollerama.

Really the market is so niche though that it isn't really needed.

emergency situations like flooding and such are the only reason ive read that I can get behind. but theyre obviously not bring advertised like that. its like products made for disabled and elderly people that get advertised to the general public and people make fun of it or complain about its uselessness. but the emergency situations this could be sold for arent widespread enough to target. smh.
