Upcoming Webinars
Packaging is one of the biggest issues for sustainability in the pet industry. On August 23 in Las Vegas, five leading pet food brands (Canidae, Earth Animal, Instinct, Petcurean, and Primal Pet Foods) publicly signed-on to Pet Sustainability Coalition’s Packaging Pledge. The PSC Packaging Pledge is a new program that helps companies meet voluntary, public, and time-bound sustainable packaging commitments. It is in direct alignment with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, thereby increasing participation from the pet industry to move toward recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging by the year 2025. Join us and our guest speakers (Caitlyn Dudas, Co-Founder and Executive Director of PSC; Caroline James, Director of Sustainability of Atlantic Packaging) to learn about the benefits, tools, and more associated with the pledge.
