game for the pet food industry.
The pet food and treat industry
has proudly contributed to the
overall sustainability of the human
food supply chain since
pets became pets. More recently,
some brands are working
with innovative programs
to prevent food waste by creating
new, high-quality products
out of surplus food ingredients.
One example of this is a
dog treat line from Phelps Pet
Products called Table Scraps™
that features the use of upcycled
food ingredients.

Pet Sustainability Coalition
(PSC) estimates that 99% of pet
food packages in the United
States wind up in landfills
rather than recycling streams.
Brands are under pressure to
consider the extended producer
responsibility, or EPR,
of the packaging materials they
select. This includes producers
embedding the cost of recycling
into their product prices,
as well as adjusting packaging
materials and choices to become
more recyclable.
This pressure to reduce packaging
waste and, in general, to
offer environmentally sustainable
products is not unique to the
pet industry. And despite facing
similar challenges as other food
industries, namely supply chain
constraints, workforce availability
and consumer purchasing adjustments,
the pet food and treat
industry as a whole has delivered
another strong year.
