Doing right by dogs means doing right by the planet, too. We're working hard to shrink our carbon pawprint, and that starts with what we send to your door.
Every parcel is designed with the planet in mind. Here's what's what:
The box - cardboard, widely recycled.
The insulation liners – peel away the plastic outer (recyclable with plastics) and the wool inside can be reused or composted. Or better yet, send them back to us through our free returns scheme and we'll take care of it.
The ice packs – defrost, snip the corner and pour the water-based gel down the sink with warm water. Rinse the plastic outer and recycle with plastics.
The pots – made from reclaimed sugarcane pulp, a by-product that would otherwise be burned. They're microwave safe, fully compostable, and about as good as packaging gets.
The pot sleeves – cardboard, widely recycled.
A note on our other packaging:
- 250g & 600g pots: fully compostable - straight into your garden compost
- 1kg tubs: recyclable in general waste for now; we're actively looking at compostable alternatives
- Boxes & sleeves: standard recycling bin
- Ice packs: as above
