Pooch and Mutt

Pooch & Mutt is dedicated to ensuring all dogs lead a happy healthy life, and the company can't do that without protecting the environment that they (and we) live in. The company's environmental policy is not driven by marketing or a desire to look good to the company's customers (although the company hope that they will appreciate it). The reason... that the company operates an environmentally friendly policy is that the company think the company should. In fact the company think that all companies should... and get very annoyed when they don't. Here are a few ways that the company look after the environment: Packaging Pooch & Mutt launched in 2008 with products packed in biodegradable packaging, lined with PLA bio-plastic. Further research showed that the biodegradable benefits of the bio-plastic were potentially outweighed by the emissions produced to make it, and there was a potential negative effect on the food chain, as agricultural land was used to produce it. Also, more of the company's orders were coming online than the company expected, so in 2009 Pooch & Mutt launched a concentrate range in recyclable plastic pouches. The plastic pouches are far lighter, smaller and tougher than the previous packaging. This means that when online orders are sent out they can be sent via standard post and fit through a letter box (saving the emissions made by an individual courier) and they can be sent in a standard envelope (reducing the need for additional packaging, such as jiffy bags).Read More
