A Sustainable Future

Creating sustainable pet bedding from wood shavings is at the core of our commitment at Platts Pets. We recognise the importance of responsible resource management and environmental stewardship, and our dedication to sustainability drives every aspect of our wood shavings pet bedding production.

Responsible Sourcing

Sustainable sourcing of wood shavings

Our wood shavings are sourced from well-managed, sustainable forests. We prioritise working with suppliers who adhere to ethical forestry practices, ensuring that trees are harvested responsibly. By carefully managing our sourcing, we aim to minimise the environmental impact of our raw material acquisition.

Waste Reduction

A key element of our sustainable approach is the utilisation of waste materials. We actively reduce waste by repurposing wood shavings that might otherwise be discarded. By transforming these shavings into premium pet bedding, we minimise the environmental footprint of our manufacturing process and contribute to a more circular economy.

Biodegradability

Our wood shavings pet bedding is designed to be biodegradable. This means that when pet owners dispose of used bedding, it breaks down naturally over time, returning valuable organic matter to the soil. This eco-friendly characteristic minimises the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in landfills. Our packaging is also made from compostable potato starch alternative a further commitment to nature and the world around us.

Low Carbon Footprint

We prioritise energy efficiency and environmentally friendly practices in our production facilities. This helps to reduce our carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future. By minimising our energy consumption and emissions, we take proactive steps to combat climate change. 

Our delivery partner DPD are also committed to offering a ‘Clean Green delivery’ using electric vehicles on delivery wherever possible.
