Info

Project Blu This is another company that has entered the sustainable and eco-friendly market. They are a BriDsh based business with a producDon base in Tuscany in Italy. Their ethos is to be different to the usual manufacturing process by offering sustainable, affordable products that are not created with built in obsolescence. Today is a throwaway society, but quality products last and that is the key. They are conscious of the importance of having a low carbon footprint. Their whole range of products are made from 100% recycled materials and mostly plasDc, to prevent further polluDon in the seas. They donate to the PlasDc Bank for every sale. This is where a recycling infrastructure is being created in the world’s poorest regions. Plus all the potenDally ocean bound plasDc is returned for cash, digital currency, healthcare, school tuiDon and much much more. This is just another way, we can help the environment and our dogs can have some great beds, collars, bedding etc. Recycled accessories for your Aussie If you walk into any pet shop, you will see an increasing number of eco-friendly products. Beco has a wide range of bowls which are manufactured from plant based fibres like bamboo and rice husks and this makes them fully sustainable and biodegradable. The resin to bind it all comes from amino acids. The result is that if the product is put into a warm, damp condiDon like a compost heap, or even buried in the ground it will start to decompose in around 2-3 years. Today many of the dog beds and cushions have been filled with syntheDc stuffing. However some manufacturers realise this is not the eco-friendly opDon and are using different fillers. Spelt husks is just one product that is being used. These are a by product of the milling industry and these beds retain heat, allow air to circulate, moulds to your dog’s shape and has a cooling effect in the summer. If spelt isn’t your preference, you could buy an Eco bed stuffed with 100% recycled bamboo or jute. These plant based products are being used for collars, leads, dog toys etc. The choice is beginning to grow and any new Aussie pup joining a household could be ki2ed out with ecofriendly products. Or as someone suggested, just recycle exisDng collars, leads etc. BathBme You can find shampoos and soaps that are organic and ecofriendly. Some are based on coconut oil rather palm oil. The la2er is affecDng wildlife environments and is the focus of many campaigns. Although there are some shampoos where the palm oil is ethically sourced. Your role Yes we know that many of the right products to choose are more expensive. But if everyone does as much as they can, then dog owners will be able to ensure they are doing as much as possible to help the environment and ensure there is a future for dogs in this world. Scruffs range of beds are found in many outlets. They include a range that are eco friendly, offering beds and maYresses. Even a safe cool mat for your dog. Sadly the only image featured a Great Dane, but as most Aussies think they are the same size as a Dane, perhaps it’s the right one to Project-Blu combines ocean-bound plasBc and recycled clothes into a unique fabric mix that is so\, durable and extremely hard wearing. Also bed fillings are filled with up-cycled plasBc Although you would have to get this shipped from Australia, this product is just one of the growing number you can buy. Of course we had to menBon an Australian produced product for an Aussie didn’t we?
