Eco Refills

At Wild For Dogs, sustainability isn’t a buzzword - it’s a promise. We’re proud to be the first and only dog grooming brand to offer a trulycompostable, plastic-free refilloption. No more single-use bottles or refill pouches, no more waste, just the same skin-loving formulas you (and your pup) adore, in packaging that’s kind to the planet.

What is the film made from?

Our compostable film has a bio base of 55%. It is made from layers of wood-pulp based cellulose and a bio-based biodegradable polymer with a spray deposition of aluminium. The aluminium provides a moisture barrier property which is crucial for holding our liquids.

Can the pouches be recycled too?

No, compostable materials cannot be recycled. They should not be put in your recycling bin because they will contaminate the materials which can be recycled. They are designed to break down, so if they end up in something you don’t want to break down that poses an issue.

I have a food waste collection - can my film go in here?

No, unfortunately not. That goes for any compostable plastics, not just ours. Although we are all sold compostable caddy liners and told to use these, the reality is that food waste goes to an anaerobic digestion (AD) site for processing. In our conversations with AD sites, they’ve told us the first thing that they do is remove all plastics, compostable or otherwise from the food waste.

How does the dissolvable film disappear?

Magic! No, just kidding. It’s made from a blend of materials similar to those you find on dishwasher tabs and laundry pods. It dissolves fastest in hot water >70c. It’s marine safe and is broken down by bacteria into water, carbon dioxide and biomass.

How about the cardboard?

Our card is printed with vegetable inks in the U.K. by our World Land Trust certified printers. The material comes from FSC certified sources.Cardboard is widely and easily recycled, it’s also compostable; rip it up and sprinkle in your compost heap for yummy worm food!
