DID YOU KNOW?

  • The scheme is sponsored by Mars Petcare and Purina Petcare. 
  • Once collected, the aggregated plastic pet food packaging are sorted, shredded and washed. Food residue is composted. The material is densified into hard-granulated plastic granules. The granules are then extruded so they can be incorporated into the production of different plastic products such as fence posts and benches.
