Sustainable Packaging: A Winning Synergy with Tecnozoo Suppliers
Tecnozoo’s commitment to improving farming conditions has always been closely linked with the surrounding environment: care for animals generates true welfare only if it is eco-sustainable throughout the entire supply chain. Therefore, for selecting the best packaging, we have chosen three suppliers who fully embody our total green vision.
Smurfit Kappa, the world leader and #1 producer in Europe of corrugated cardboard for packaging, adopts an innovative sustainable sourcing program across all its plantations and those of its partner suppliers. Through voluntary participation in three recognized forest certification programs – Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®), Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™), and Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI™) – the collection of 100% virgin and recycled fibers is always carried out in a safe and responsible manner. Not only does it provide high quality at the right cost, but it also ensures an authentic certified Chain of Custody, from supplier risk assessment to the mitigation of environmental and local social risks. A food safety and welfare strategy: literally from the forest to the factory, and right to the store doorstep.
Ellepibox of Altivole (TV) conducts careful analysis of raw materials, and the equipment used for packaging production is constantly monitored and cleaned to ensure maximum protective safety for pet food and the storage chain for complementary feed.
Cardboard is the green packaging material par excellence: natural, recyclable, and 100% biodegradable, and Mg Busatto of Quinto (TV) is committed to recycling tons of cardboard from production offcuts each month. An ideal partner also for the use of water-based inks, such as the glue used in the production phase, which does not require the use of solvents.
