Paleo Ridge Sets the Environmental Benchmark With 98% of it's Packaging Now Recyclable or Compostable
In an industry first, Paleo Ridge, the UK’s leading and most accredited producer of high-quality raw dog food, is celebrating an environmental benchmark of 98% of the company’s packaging now recyclable or compostable.
A series of projects have supported the achievement, including the launch of new packaging for the Paleo Ridge Classic and DIY ranges last year which saw several products switch from non-recyclable bags to recyclable boxes. Launched this year, the new Classic Mini range is also packaged in fully recyclable pouches, making feeding raw more convenient whilst also protecting the environment.
Over the last three years, the business has converted an additional 9% of non-recyclable and non-compostable packaging to achieve this milestone. This rapid improvement represents a sustained effort from Paleo Ridge to safeguard the environment and respond to consumer demands for eco-friendly product packaging.
Additionally, Paleo Ridge has made improvements to the sustainability of its delivery-box packaging, using an eco-friendly insulation and void fill solution. By using a paper void fill, made from 100% recycled paper, bubble wrap is no longer required, significantly reducing the waste created by packaging which would otherwise end up in landfill.
The transition to environmentally friendly WoolCool®, an effective and sustainable alternative to polystyrene when transporting frozen products, has ensured that Paleo Ridge has considered all aspects of delivery packaging from an environmental perspective. A return service for WoolCool® liners, delivered through Paleo Ridge, saw 2,000 WoolCool strips being reused in 2019, rising steeply to 9,000 WoolCool strips in 2020 and nearly 8,000 strips reused so far in 2021.
