Sustainable Pet Food Packaging

Environmentally Friendly Pet Food Packaging That Doesn’t Sacrifice Quality, Safety, or Design

We’ve set lofty sustainability goals to help you reach yours. Our award-winning PetPack—BDG™ technology is shelf-stable, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and appealing to eco-conscious pet owners. It is truly biodegradable, and will only begin to break down in an active landfill environment. Moist or wet pet foods will not trigger the biodegradation process.

If recyclability is important to your brand and your customers, Emmerson Packaging also offers a recyclable flexible bag and a biodegradable/recyclable flexible bag, with a full range of features and options. Click here to see our full line of sustainable and green packaging options.

You don’t have to sacrifice print quality, barrier control, or overall package performance to give your customers the environmentally friendly options they demand. Finally, premium performance and premium sustainability are available in one package.

Our manufacturing facilities have long concentrated on sustainability initiatives. Since the year 2000, per foot shipped, Emmerson Packaging’s facilities have:
