TerraCycle's Wellness Natural Pet Food Recycling Program allows any Wellness Complete Health, Wellness CORE and Holistic Select flexible plastic pet food packaging to be collected at participating retailers and other community locations.

o Waste Pet Food

Buying zero waste dog and cat food can be a challenge. I’ve been to several health food stores that offer pet food in bulk, but I have to say, it’s pretty rare (but if you find it, stock up!). Should you be unable to find kibble in bulk, your next best options are to make your own (who’s brave?) or buy a product that comes in recyclable packaging — not technically zero, but not very wasteful either. Here are a few options that do:

• Guardian Pet Food Company offers a mail-in solution for recycling through TerraCycle. A number of other brands have started doing so as well.
• Open Farm also offers a mail-in recycling option.
• Wet food comes in steel cans which are easily recycled in the U.S. But keep in mind that they are often lined with BPA.

Whether it be the materials used, the way the ingredients are sourced, the recyclability of the packaging or the way the manufacturing facility’s energy is harvested, the pet industry is quite friendly to the environment—and probably more so than other industries.
