Canidae Launches Refill System to Cut Plastic Waste in Pet Food

Canidae, a leading dog food brand, has launched an innovative refill system at select Petco stores in Southern California. This move, part of a broader initiative to reduce plastic waste, aims to eliminate 80% of their plastic packaging within the next eight years. Other brands, such as Orijen and Acana, have joined forces with Canidae to achieve this sustainability goal.

Canidae's refill stations allow pet owners to bring their own containers and fill them with kibble, reducing packaging waste. This not only helps the environment but also saves consumers up to 45% per pound on pet food purchases. The patent-pending system keeps the kibble fresh and reduces exposure to the outside environment.

The refill system also helps pet food makers reduce their dependency on single-use plastic and avoid supply chain bottlenecks. Canidae is open to collaborating with other brands to further this cause. Currently, the refill stations are available at pilot Petco outlets in Southern California, with plans to expand to 100 locations in the near future. After the initial investment, both consumers and pet food makers can expect lowered costs.

Canidae's refill system is a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the pet food industry. By reducing plastic waste and lowering costs, the brand is setting a positive example for others to follow. With the support of other brands like Orijen and Acana, Canidae is well on its way to achieving its goal of eliminating 80% of its plastic packaging within the next eight years.
