We believe future generations of people and pets deserve clean spaces to roam and play.
There are many ways we can leave behind a cleaner planet for generations to come. One is ensuring none of our product packaging ends up in landfills.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
Our vision is that none of our packaging ends up in a landfill. Today, 90% of our packaging is recycle ready in North America.
We expect 95% of our plastic packaging to be designed for recycling by 2025 and remain committed to achieving 100%.
Success in a circular economy for packaging materials depends on infrastructure for collecting, sorting, reuse and recycling. The recycling infrastructure gap is significant, and we are joining with other companies and stakeholders to accelerate progress in this area.
What Does “Recycle Ready” Mean?
“Recycle ready” applies to some of our flexible plastic packaging, primarily used for large dog food bags. Although these materials can technically be recycled, most single-stream recycling facilities do not have the infrastructure to process those materials. As a result, a large percentage of flexible plastic packaging ends up in landfills.

Learn how to recycle your Purina product packaging below.
Ninety percent of Purina products are made with recyclable materials, like aluminum, steel, paperboard and corrugate, all of which are endlessly recyclable, or are recycle ready.
Plus, recycling aluminum uses less than 1/4 of the energy it takes to produce new aluminum. In 2018 alone, recycling aluminum saved enough energy to provide electricity to up to 8 million homes.
