Sustainability -
Keeping the future in mind today

As a business, we’ve created a plan to address sustainability and put doing better for people, pets and planet at the heart of what we do.

SustainabilitySustainability
To lead in packaging sustainability

and by 2025 for 100% of packaging to be recyclable or reusable, with a 1/3 reduction in virgin plastic use.

 
 
 
 
 
Reduce our greenhouse gas emission

and by 2025 have reduced our CO2 emission by 20% with 100% of our factories powered by renewable energy. By 2050 we plan to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Ensure responsible sourcing  

of all our major pet food ingredient and that they are procured in an ethical, sustainable and socially conscious way by 2025. 

Protect water resources  

and have a year on year reduction within our factories of their water usage.

Some of the changes we’ve made

Each of these global goals is underpinned by a series of targets that will see us change the way we work and positively impacting our environment. Whilst we don’t have all the answers, this is our roadmap, to bring change to the Australian Pet Care category.

Below is a list a some of the changes we’ve made in Australia to our pet care ranges:

 
 
 
  • Recycled cotton
     
     
     

    Some materials are just as lovely the second time around, like our TOTAL CARE toys made from recycled cotton. Through using recycled materials, we are not only creating durable products but saving precious resources.

     
  • Water based printing on our paper packaging
     

    Through changing our printing methods to water-based prints and removing laminates, we improve the recyclability of our paper product packaging. Learn more about how to recycle our products.

     
     
  • Removal of cable ties and unnecessary plastic waste  
     
    Our ranges are starting to look a little different. This is because we have removed nylon cable ties, as a packaging element (which are which are made from oil and are unrecyclable). Through changing our fastening systems to paper on our TOTAL CARE tethering range, we are able to make it easier for our packaging to be recycled and ensuring single use plastic doesn’t end up in landfill.
     
     
  • No waste production methods 
     
    We practice responsible production of our accessories and make sure we reuse and recover any excess materials, so nothing is ever wasted.
  • Recycled Plastic Bottle Pet Collars 
     
    Unlike normal dog collars which are made from virgin polyester we have proudly moved our webbing to be made from recycled plastic bottles called RPET. We know there’s more to do when it comes to the circular economy and reusing waste, but it’s another step in the right direction to make our products as sustainable as possible.
