Today more and more people are conscious about recycling and doing their part to save the planet for future generations. They look for recycled products and safer alternatives in everyday consumer goods such as cleaning products, paper products, and other household supplies. An option that some may not have considered is eco friendly pet products. This is an alternative to keep in mind when shopping for pet beds and other pet needs.
There are some manufacturers of pet products that use eco friendly materials, but West Paw Designs in Montana, USA, uses IntelliLoft Fiber Fill in the pet beds, dog toys, and cat toys they manufacture. What is Intelliloft? It is made exclusively for West Paw Design and it is created from 100% recycled PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles.
The process is:
Post consumer recycled bottles are used.
The labels and caps are removed and then the bottles are cleaned and disinfected.
The plastic bottles are chopped up into flakes, melted, liquefied, and re-engineered into soft Intelliloft fibers.
This very soft, fluffy material is used in manufacturing pet beds and pet toys by West Paw Design. By using this process, West Paw has diverted over 4 million plastic bottles from land fills. Not only are these products eco friendly, the recycled materials used create a pet bed that is durable, soft, comfortable, and high quality. In addition, the pet beds are not only machine washable, they wash very well, getting rid of unwelcome pet odors.
To insure the safety of their products for you and your pet, West Paw Design uses a third party international testing organization, Oko-Tex Association, which was founded in 1992 by the Austrian Textile Research Institute and the German Hohenstein Research Institutes. They test every element to prove the safety of their pet products. This means the products are free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. All of this is good news for both your pet and the environment.
By purchasing a dog bed or cat bed that utilizes this eco friendly material, you are helping to keep some of the plastic bottles out of our land fills. Choosing pet products with eco friendly materials really can make a difference, and you don’t have to compromise the style, quality, or durability that is so important to your pet’s comfort. After all, your pet is your best friend and you want them to have a comfortable pet bed to rest on. Both you and your pet can sleep better knowing their bed is eco friendly and safe.
