Pet Sustainability Coalition, Earth Animal and Pet Food Experts now look to the second phase of the program, in which collected plastic will be recycled and repurposed into durable pet goods.

AegisPaper serves as a recyclable high-barrier packaging solution for existing form-fill-seal applications, including pet food.

UnPacked21 is the organization’s first event dedicated to sharing sustainable pet care packaging solutions.

Processing solutions offer hidden opportunities for cost savings, gained efficiencies, product improvements and overall safety.

The pet product manufacturer has seen an increase in machine accessibility, performance and flexibility after installing the new system in mid-December.

The two companies have made the new solution available for processors across the United States.

The global packaging supplier developed FlexiBags, a paper-based packaging made with 50% renewable resources, for Interquell Petfood’s Goood brand.

The companies combined efforts to leverage each other’s partnerships and expertise to enhance supply chain agility for their global clients.

The mono-material pouch design is compatible with high-speed packaging lines and offers high recovery potential for recycling streams.

The organization has partnered with NOVA Chemicals Corp to test recycled pet food packaging and identify additional uses for repurposing those materials.
