According to PSC, this milestone reflects Morris Packaging’s ongoing dedication to responsible sourcing, transparency and environmental stewardship within the pet industry.

No stranger to PSC’s work, Morris Packaging has been a member since 2019 and even had a company executive join the PSC board in 2021.
