TerraCycle & Mars Petcare UK Boost Pet Food Packaging Recycling
TerraCycle, a specialist in recycling unusual materials, has partnered with several European companies to boost recycling rates of specific products. In the pet food packaging sector, many partners are pet food manufacturers. Notable collaborations include Nestlé Purina, Royal Canin, and Hill's Pet Nutrition, offering consumers eco-friendly disposal options.
TerraCycle's European partnerships enable recycling of materials typically overlooked in conventional processes. For instance, its collaboration with Mars Petcare UK allows recycling of pet food packaging, including brands not produced by Mars. This initiative is crucial as some pet food packaging isn't recyclable via standard curbside pick-up.
Mars, aiming to make 100% of its packaging recyclable by 2025, is working towards this goal. It advocates for transparent, harmonized extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes in Europe. Mars is also involved with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, seeking to optimize packaging materials and reduce overall impact without compromising product safety or increasing food waste.
Through partnerships like these, TerraCycle and companies such as Mars Petcare UK are making significant strides in recycling pet food packaging. Consumers can now recycle more waste responsibly, contributing to a cleaner environment. Mars' commitment to sustainability and TerraCycle's innovative recycling solutions are driving progress in this area.
