Ocean Plastic Dog Bowls

West Paw's Eco-Friendly Dog Bowls Repurpose Ocean-Bound Plastic

— August 3, 2021 — Eco
West Paw's new Seaflex collection introduces eco-friendly dog bowls and placemats that are made from ocean-bound plastic so that feeding pets is both simple and sustainable. The collection for pets features placemats with raised edges so that messes are contained, and the no-slip bowl design eliminates noisy eating sounds that come from bowls on the move.

Available in color choices like Marine Blue or Sea Fog Grey, these eco-friendly dog bowls are dishwasher-safe and non-toxic, thanks to the use of a zero-waste material by the name of Zogoflex. West Paw collaborated with Oceanworks to safely and responsibly source the material from threatened coastal areas in Central America. At the end of their usable life, the products can even be recycled via Join the Loop.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Pet Products - There is an opportunity for companies to develop more eco-friendly pet products using sustainable materials like ocean-bound plastic.

3. Sustainable Recycling Programs - Incorporating sustainable recycling programs like Join the Loop can encourage consumers to properly dispose of pet products in an environmentally-friendly way.

1. Pet Care Industry - The pet care industry can benefit from incorporating more sustainable materials and recycling programs into their products and services.
2. Eco-friendly Manufacturing Industry - Eco-friendly manufacturing companies can expand their consumer base by developing pet products that are made from sustainable materials and incorporated with recycling programs.
3. Sustainability Consulting Industry - Sustainability consulting firms could advise pet care companies on how to incorporate more eco-friendly practices into their production and business models.
