“We started using BioPak about three years ago when we made that conscious decision to move away from plastics and keep our products as natural as possible. Our customers really care about packaging, very regularly we hear the customers love the packaging both because of the way it performs and, really importantly, because of the sustainability side of it.” - Charlie Thurstan - Founder & Managing Director at Different Dog
BioPak Packaging for Dog Food
Different Dog required packaging that matched the quality of their food and their eco-credentials which is why they chose BioPak’s sturdy, plant-based and plastic-free sugarcane bagasse packaging. Bagasse, otherwise known as sugarcane pulp, is a by-product of the sugarcane refining process that would otherwise be left to rot or, worse – be burned. Instead, we use this eco-friendly material to make our packaging. It’s a great way to make use of something that would otherwise go to waste and help our customers make the switch from single-use plastic. Our sugarcane containers are suitable for hot and cold food and can even be frozen – like Different Dog’s food. When using our sugarcane containers, customers should be advised to let the food defrost before transferring it to a bowl to avoid any fibres being stuck to the food.
