Cat Packaging Makes Up 7% of All U.S. Waste

Cat Packaging Makes Up 7% of All U.S. Waste

A new study conducted by the Alliance for Sanitation Scrutiny (ASS) finds that a whopping 7% of all the waste generated by U.S. households comes from discarded cat packaging.

“Store-bought cats can come in packages that go three layers deep, in some cases,” says Robert Kincaid, project manager on the study. “Most of it is non-recyclable.”

While there are some cat retailers taking initiatives to reduce cat packaging waste, the problem is pervasive, and will need to be addressed industry-wide to see any meaningful impact.
