Portland Pet Company Unveils Sustainable, Recyclable Dog Food Packaging
Portland Pet Company, a trailblazer in natural dog meals, has launched a significant packaging overhaul. The company, founded by Kate McCarron, now employs shelf-stable, eco-friendly packaging that's recyclable and BPA-free.
The new packaging is a stand-up pouch, designed with convenience and sustainability in mind. It boasts an impressive shelf life of two years, reducing waste and saving shelf space compared to traditional cans. The pouch is microwavable, making meal preparation easier, and features grips for safe handling.
The packaging is not only functional but also informative. It uses easy-to-understand icons and graphics, a trend that has been gaining traction since 2007. This move aligns with the company's commitment to transparency and customer education.
The materials used have a lower environmental footprint than cans. The lighter weight of the pouch also results in less environmental impact and lower shipping costs. This shift is part of the broader industry trend towards sustainable packaging, with many companies focusing on biodegradable materials, recyclability, and bioplastics since 2007.
Portland Pet Company's new packaging is a testament to its commitment to sustainability and customer convenience. The recyclable, BPA-free stand-up pouch not only reduces environmental impact but also offers practical benefits to pet owners. With these changes, the company continues to provide natural, healthy dog meals while minimizing its ecological footprint.
