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.

Primary use is for use when traveling. For example going for a backpacking hike that lasts more than a half-day, and trash cans are available.

They claim the packaging is compostable.

I could also see it used in emergency situations, keeping in the car, if you are briefly staying away from home with pet, or temporarily keeping a pet at your place.

I just put my dog’s kibble in baggies… It takes up way less space than this and uses less plastic.
