As an industry first, we’re introducing dedicated recycling points for flexible pet food packaging in our stores! The new initiative is supported by pet food producers Mars and Purina PetCare, and aims to combat flexible packaging waste, tackling the pet food packaging made of these materials. We’ve partnered with environmental charity Hubbub to run a trial, which has so far been rolled out across 40 of our stores and three Vets4Pets practices. Following the trial, the initiative will be rolled out across the country with the aim of having recycling points in the majority of stores by the end of next year.
