Our Commitment to Transparency: Product and Packaging at The Pets Larder

At The Pets Larder, we believe in being completely transparent about the products we sell and how they're packaged. As a business that values sustainability and eco-friendly practices, we’re constantly working to reduce our environmental footprint while offering high-quality, natural pet products.

Why Transparency Matters

In today’s world, customers deserve to know exactly what they’re buying—not just the ingredients or materials, but also the environmental impact of the packaging. From recyclable plastics to compostable options, understanding the journey of a product from shelf to disposal is crucial for making informed choices. We’re committed to giving you that clarity.

Packaging Types at The Pets Larder

We’ve made strides in improving our packaging, ensuring it aligns with our values and your expectations. Here’s a breakdown of the different types of packaging we and our fellow brands use, tailored to balance sustainability and practicality:

1. Packaging-Free Products

For the ultimate eco-conscious choice, some of our products come without packaging. This approach reduces waste entirely and allows you to enjoy your purchase guilt-free. Look for our bulk treats and chews sold in-store or online with minimal materials used for transit.

2. Compostable Packaging

We’re proud to offer products in fully compostable packaging that can be disposed of in your home compost bin. Made from plant-based materials, these packages break down naturally, leaving no harmful residue behind.

3. Commercially Compostable Packaging

Some packaging requires industrial composting facilities to break down. While this option isn’t as convenient as home composting, it’s still a fantastic way to reduce landfill waste. We encourage customers to check local facilities for disposal.

4. LDPE 4: Easily Recyclable Plastics

Many of our products use LDPE 4 packaging, a lightweight and durable plastic that is widely recyclable. This option strikes a balance between protecting product quality and ensuring recyclability. Be sure to check your local recycling guidelines to confirm compatibility.

5. TerraCycle Partnerships

For items with packaging that might otherwise be hard to recycle, we’ve teamed up with TerraCycle. This program allows you to return certain types of packaging to designated drop-off points, where they’ll be transformed into new materials or products.

Aligning with Sustainability Goals

Our commitment doesn’t end at packaging. We’re working with suppliers who share our vision for a greener future. By prioritising natural, high-quality ingredients and sustainable manufacturing processes, we’re creating a product range that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your pets.

How You Can Help

Together, we can make a difference. Here’s how you can support our mission:

• Choose Sustainable Options: Look for our eco-friendly labels and make informed choices.

• Dispose Responsibly: Follow disposal guidelines for each type of packaging.

• Spread the Word: Share our commitment with fellow pet owners to inspire wider change.

Looking Ahead

We’re always exploring new ways to innovate and improve. Whether it’s introducing more packaging-free products or adopting cutting-edge biodegradable materials, our journey towards full sustainability is ongoing. With your support, we can achieve our vision for a greener, more transparent future.
