This month, we’re spotlighting three examples of how PSC members are turning sustainability goals into measurable business action. These stories highlight how companies across the pet industry are approaching packaging systems, ingredient transparency, and clean energy investment with practical strategies that support long-term resilience.
Learn how members are:
- Advancing circular packaging systems
- Connecting ingredient sourcing to real environmental data
- Using financial tools to support long-term operational resilience
These member stories demonstrate what’s possible when companies take practical steps to reduce impact, strengthen supply chains, and move the industry forward towards a more sustainable future.
Sustainable Packaging:
TemperPack® is applying circular manufacturing practices to reduce production waste across its packaging operations. In 2025, the company reintroduced more than 1.3 million pounds of ClimaCell material back into production while expanding composting and recycling systems for Green Cell Foam. The effort reflects a growing industry focus on designing packaging systems that reduce waste while maintaining performance.
Sustainable Ingredients:
M-Fiber developed a field-level traceability system that links every bale of their Miscanthus grass to the field where it was grown, and what this means for brands looking to adopt traceability in practice. Field-level traceability provides brands a way to connect real environmental data to the exact ingredients in their supply chain.
Funding Decarbonization:
STX outlines how clean energy investments that once came at a cost to companies can now actually improve their bottom line. For companies with positive U.S. federal tax liability, transferable tax credits introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act offer a meaningful opportunity to fund clean energy investment while improving after-tax outcomes. This mechanism can be used by companies across the pet value chain, from manufacturers and retailers to distributors, logistics providers, and packaging companies. This case study outlines how the mechanism works and the steps that companies can take to get started.
