Are Pet Food Bags Recyclable?


Purina puts a great deal of thought and research into the type of bags their pet food goes into,  Things like strength, durability, moisture control, and the ability to resist tearing are among the top priorities.   
and many factors are considered in this process.

Purina's material of choice to encompass all of these areas is polypropylene.  Although many of their criteria are met by using it and plastic is technically recyclable, some recycling centers are not yet equipped to recycle polypropylene.


 TLCpetfood.com relates with dismay that, “Most pet foods are packaged today in plastic lined paper bags.  Unfortunately, as the paper bag has a plastic liner glued on the inside and a thin coating of laminate on the outside, the package is neither recyclable nor readily biodegradable, and thus must be sent to your local landfill. “

TLC, however, has been working to reduce the environmental impact, or “environmental pawprint”, since 2008.

As we await more companies getting on board with environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging, and more recycling centers accepting this material, most pet food bags are still considered a trash item.

  3. Hello there!

    It’s Jordan Clark from the Content Team of FOMO Bones. We write articles that mainly focus on relieving anxiety and FOMO a.k.a “Fear Of Missing Out” for dogs and pet parents all across the globe.

    We’d like to pass along useful information on combating dog’s struggle on anxiety and stress, so we’re looking for sites who would be willing to collaborate with us. I was able to research your site: ourrecyclingworks.blogspot.com and thought to share our content:

    • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HKvXSxMiOjWFbSHRnEFhWbIfKylQm-Q1JjEk6nyK8Rw/edit?usp=sharing


    Might you be interested in sharing the article to your readers? You can choose to syndicate the article or use it as an external content, long as there’s proper credit that is linked to the original article. We hope we can further reach out to people experiencing anxiety, and help them. If you have articles regarding anxiety or self enhancement, I’d be more than happy to share them to our audience as well via our Twitter network.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Regards,
