Bioplastic Pet Food Packaging

Only Natural Pet's Mindful Meals Come in Sugarcane-Based Bags

— September 5, 2018 — Eco
Only Natural Pet's newly launched Mindful Meals feature pet food packaging that integrates a minimum of 30% bioplastic material to support greater environmental sustainability and a reduced carbon footprint.

The eco-friendly packaging solution for pet food makes the most of Braskem's sugarcane-based I'm greenTM biopolymer and reflects the focus on the use of sustainably sourced ingredients in the pet food formulas. The material takes the form of a resin that is made from ethanol, a renewable resource that comes from Brazilian sugarcane and a sustainable alternative to conventional oil-based polyethylene.

As pet food is a product that needs to be purchased by pet parents on a fairly regular basis, this new pet food packaging solution will stand out to mindful consumers with a desire to make purchasing choices that help to protect the planet.
