The dooloop, made in Maine of biodegradable plastic and zero-waste packaging. Invented by Beth Herriman, designed by ARCADIA designworks.
The dooloop, an ARCADIA design, owned and conceived by dooloop founder Elizabeth Herriman, was reviewed this month at the Time To Play Magazine Expo and on ABC World News with ABC’s Pet Toy Reviewer, Dick DeBartolo.
What is the dooloop? The dooloop is a dog-leash accessory used when walking the dog. After the dog makes their mess you no longer have to carry a bag of poo in your hand. The loop of the dooloop carries the bag of waste until you reach home or a trash can.
All made in Maine of biodegradable plastic that will never become a microplastic, plus zero-waste packaging on recycled paper.
Watch founder Herriman explain her work and tout Maine as the state where the dooloop is produced.

Greenlight Maine - Judges Panelist Season 5
Portland, Maine
Patric's 2019 summer participation as a judge-panelist in the filming of Greenlight Maine was a noted privilege and honor.
Two local entrepreneurs pitched their products in hopes of ultimately winning $100,000. The first contestant Gordon Steltzer, Director of Operations at Rapid Assault Tools presented an array of extendable entry tools predominantly used by SWAT teams for gaining access to buildings. The second entrepreneur was Tim Chesley who pitched his ‘Warrier’s Honor,' a multi-sized aluminum commemorative bullet for honoring our military veterans.
As an industrial designer, Patric's dynamic expertise and background in product design are utilized by Greenlight Maine in assessing complex projects within this category, which as an industry is currently seeing promised growth within our state of Maine.
