sustainable packaging
dogpeople is committed to finding ways to move towards environmental sustainability.  Our goal is to become a driving force in the natural pet products industry by using more environmentally-friendly packaging.  

While no package today is fully sustainable, dogpeople has selected a type of packaging that is considered more sustainable than a traditional metal can, creating a smaller "footprint” on the environment.

Sustainable Packaging Trade-Off
Since no package today is fully sustainable, we are faced with a trade-off in selecting the best packaging
for our products: product and packaging quality vs. recycling vs. source reduction.

Souplements pouches are accepted for Plastic recycling under the designation of "7 Other," which indicates that the package can be recycled.  However, most recycling centers are not capable of accepting this form of plastic for recycling. 

dogpeople selected the plastic retort pouch because of its ability to keep perishable products fresh, flavorful and nutritious for up to 12 months in a convenient and safe format for our customers, without using preservatives or needing refrigeration.  And, we are able to achieve this while minimizing the amount of materials in our packaging and lowering our energy consumption.

dogpeople will continue to evaluate new packaging opportunities, in hopes of finding a better solution that can help us make our “footprint” even smaller.souplements_pouch.htmlshapeimage_4_link_0
