All packaging is either recyclable or biodegradable.
Pet Impact donates 18% of its profits to Repurpose Global, funding waste management infrastructure in communities most affected by plastic pollution. The company also supports reforestation and rewilding projects through its membership with Mossy Earth, and has committed to reaching net zero by 2040.
