The Brazilian pet nutrition company has been recognized for its success in neutralizing the impact of 100% of its packaging.

The retailer has partnered with TerraCycle to help reduce packaging waste. 

The franchise brands reported helping to keep 27,000 lbs. of pet product packaging out of landfills and incinerators.

A group of volunteers recovered more than 16,000 lbs of plastic from Colombian beaches.

The program will allow pet owners to return used pet food and treat bags to the store to be collected, sorted and recycled.

The retailer is launching two takeback recycling programs to advance pet parents’ environmental impact efforts.

Berry Global and Peel Plastics’ flexible packaging is used by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.

The retailers have collected and recycled 3.5 tons of pet product packaging waste through TerraCycle over the last six months.

UK Pet Food has partnered with the coalition and is urging its pet industry members to sign on to the sustainable packaging pledge.

TerraCycle will collect, clean and sort used flexible pet food and treat bags returned to participating stores.
