The Packaging Pledge
A pathway toward sustainable packaging by 2025 — Starting July 2022, pet companies can sign-on to the Pet Sustainability Coalition Packaging Pledge, a program to support pet companies to move to 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging by 2025. This initiative is being developed in consultation with leading industry experts.
Making change easy — Our program provides benefits to support pet brand signatories and manufacturers including:
- A vetted marketplace housing pre-qualified packaging suppliers that meet Ellen MacArthur requirements.
- Marketing assets including signatory badges, social media and exclusive promotion opportunities.
- Tools including packaging life cycle analysis, the Recycling Partnership’s Plastic IQ, How2Recycle labeling support, and packaging design guidelines.
- Ongoing and consistent legislative updates and education.
- Business case data set designed to pitch to company decision makers.
- Peer working groups to share successes and challenges for accelerated progress.
