For the past two and a half years, we’ve been working closely with our suppliers to develop packaging for your kibble bags that can be recycled at large supermarkets. <\/strong>A simple change, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer is, no! From tails.com HQ to your door, your kibble bag needs to do a lot of important jobs. So finding the perfect solution comes with its fair share of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any new material we use must be of a food-safe grade. Our quality teams conduct extensive shelf-life testing to guarantee the safety and freshness of your dog\u2019s food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your bag needs to be sturdy enough to withstand daily use, but easy to open so you can get those dinner bowls down on time! After eight (yes eight!) rounds of testing, we\u2019ve fine-tuned the production process with our supplier. So you can open and seal our new packaging with ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A big challenge with our new packaging is that it needs to be strong enough to hold up to 10kg \u2014 that\u2019s the weight of a Westie! It also needs to be durable enough to survive the journey to your home. Keeping that all-important kibble safe and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While we\u2019ve made significant progress so far, we know our new bag isn\u2019t perfect. We\u2019ve heard from you, our customers, that these new bags are appearing to be more easily damaged in transit. And we hear you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re continuing to work with our suppliers to refine and enhance the bag’s design and functionality. We won\u2019t stop until every<\/em> aspect of our packaging lives up to our high standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All our UK bags should now be ready to recycle. But there might be some exceptions to this as we finalise the full transition. To check your bag, just have a peek inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s as simple as that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our new bags aren\u2019t designed to be recycled at home, so don\u2019t put them in your recycling bin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can recycle them at large supermarkets<\/strong> or other recycling points. <\/strong>You\u2019ll just need to cut the label out, then find your nearest recycling point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By correctly disposing of\u00a0 your kibble bag, you play a crucial role in reducing waste and preserving the environment. Together, we can work to make the world a better, cleaner place – which means better dog walks for generations to come!<\/p>\n\n\n As we continue to master our packaging, we need your help! Got feedback on your kibble bag? We\u2019d love to hear it \u2014 and we\u2019ll do our best to make it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating sustainable packaging is a team effort. Together \u2014 the tails.com team, our suppliers and you \u2014 we\u2019ll make sure we get it right. We\u2019re grateful to have customers who care as much about the environment as we do, and we appreciate your patience as we continue to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions or feedback for us, we\u2019d love to hear from you.
