Purina achieves significant environmental goal to make pet care products sustainably
Purina’s portfolio of pet care products for dogs and cats is now getting to pet food bowls and litter boxes in a more sustainable way.
They announced it has reached the company’s 2020 goal to achieve zero waste for disposal across all manufacturing operations and its corporate headquarters.
Achieving zero waste for disposal means that all 21 of Purina’s manufacturing sites and its St. Louis Headquarters have found ways to derive benefits from materials that would have otherwise been discarded. All locations now recycle, reuse, recover or compost waste from daily operations. In certain cases, locations also may utilize destinations that convert waste to energy to generate power. Purina products feed 49 million dogs and 66 million cats every year, so reaching 100 percent across all Purina brands and factories was no small feat.
Purina is working toward a global ambition for zero environmental impact in its operations by 2030, and achieving zero waste for disposal is a significant step in that journey.
