Paper and bioplastics generated from renewable plant components such as corn or potato starch are used in biodegradable packaging. Bags would naturally disintegrate in the environment over a prolonged period of time. Biodegradable packaging is made from biopolymers, which are molecules that are commonly found in living creatures, such as cellulose and proteins.
This implies they can be taken safely, decompose swiftly, and are frequently made from waste plant products. Puppy food packaging keeps goods fresh, hygienic, and long-lasting. It aids in the prevention of food contamination and ensures the freshness and hygiene of animal feed.
The Global Biodegradable Pet Food Packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Mars Petcare collaborates with Huhtamaki and SABIC to create chemically regenerated cat food pouches. Mars Petcare is introducing what it claims is the world’s first recycled wet pet food package. The pouches, produced in collaboration with Huhtamaki and SABIC, are made with chemical recycling methods.
According to the collaboration, the new packaging, which will initially be seen on the cat food brand Sheba, was only made possible through chemical recycling. The packaging comes after the partnership’s debut last year.
Mars’ chief procurement and sustainability officer, said the company has been working closely with SABIC and Huhtamaki for the past year, testing and learning as well as increasing the recycled plastic content in its pet food packets.
They have committed to helping promote a circular economy as part of their ‘Sustainable in a Generation’ agenda, which includes rethinking their packages for circularity.
The fact that they can now incorporate recycled content into their Sheba pouches accelerates their journey to target 30% average recycled content in their plastic packaging and cut their use of virgin plastic by 25%.
“According to Mars, pet food packaging is a very difficult packaging type in which to use recycled content due to the heat processing required to create excellent quality. According to Mars Petcare, the new pet food packaging are only conceivable due to chemical recycling.
“By utilising ISCC PLUS certified recycled material, Mars Petcare brings to life a technology that can enable a step-change in the pet-food industry’s sustainability path,” the business adds. SABIC is a pioneer in chemical recycling through its Trucircle plastic portfolio and services, which provide certified circular products made from previously difficult-to-recycle used plastic household packaging.
