Most pet food pouches on the market today are multi-layer plastics (often combining plastics, aluminium or other films) that cannot be mechanically recycled through standard plastic streams. In contrast, our pouch packaging is made from monoplastic polypropylene (Mono-PP) — a single plastic type designed to be compatible with flexible plastic recycling systems, making recycling possible where infrastructure exists.
How to Recycle Our Pouch Packaging:
Check your local recycling guidelines: Recycling rules can vary, so make sure your local facilities accept plastic bags and flexible packaging. Most places in the EU should accept monoplastic.
Clean the packaging: Give the pouch a quick rinse. Clean packaging is more likely to be successfully recycled.
Dispose of it in the correct recycling bin: Look for the plastic recycling bin in your area to ensure it gets sorted and recycled properly. Here’s the most likely place for each country:
Belgium: Put in the plastic waste bin (PMD)
Netherlands: Put in the plastic waste bin (PMD)
France: Put it in the yellow bin for recyclable plastics.
UK: Check your local authority’s guidelines; many areas accept flexible plastics in kerbside recycling or at store drop-off points.
Italy: Dispose of in the yellow bin for plastic packaging.
Spain: Use the yellow bin for packaging, ensuring it’s clean and dry.
Germany: Place in the yellow bag or yellow bin for packaging waste.
By recycling your pet’s pouch packaging, you’re helping reduce waste and contributing to a more sustainable future. Every little bit counts!
