At Phelps Pet Products, taking care of our planet is a top priority. Our partnership with rePurpose Global marks a significant step in our journey to combat plastic pollution and promote sustainability. We are excited to share that through this collaboration, we have achieved Plastic Neutral certification with our Disney Table Scraps brand. In this blog, we will explore rePurpose's impactful mission, detail our journey towards a plastic-neutral future, and invite our partners to join this important movement.
Understanding the Plastic Crisis
Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental challenges today. Each year, we produce over 380 million tons of plastic, much of which ends up in our oceans, harming marine life and ecosystems. A staggering statistic predicts that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish if we do not change our habits.
To address this crisis, achieving plastic-neutral status is essential. This means balancing plastic usage with efforts to remove and recycle an equivalent amount from the environment. Our partnership with rePurpose Global has led us to take effective steps towards this important goal.
Introducing rePurpose Global
rePurpose Global is leading the charge against plastic waste. Their mission is straightforward: empower individuals and businesses to take control of their plastic footprints. They offer innovative solutions to help brands become plastic neutral while making a positive difference in communities affected by plastic pollution.
Their approach encompasses various initiatives, including funding waste collection projects and promoting recycling programs. Notably, for every partnership formed, rePurpose directly contributes to cleaning up substantial amounts of plastic waste from the environment, yielding significant results.
Phelps Pet Products' Commitment to Sustainability
Phelps Pet Products has long been dedicated to offering high-quality pet products while being mindful of our environmental impact. When we launched our Disney Table Scraps brand, we seized the opportunity to deepen our sustainability efforts. Partnering with rePurpose Global allowed us to align our sustainability approach with our brand values.
Achieving Plastic Neutral certification means we have taken significant steps to offset our plastic footprint. This certification represents our commitment to making a real difference. Each product sold under the Disney Table Scraps brand aids in funding projects that clean up plastic from our oceans and waterways, contributing to a healthier environment for wildlife and future generations.
The Impact of Our Partnership
Our collaboration with rePurpose Global allows us to support vital waste management initiatives that can transform communities. For instance, by participating in rePurpose’s projects, we help create job opportunities in waste collection and recycling, which can empower vulnerable groups.
The environmental benefits are equally impressive. With every Disney Table Scraps product purchased, we not only offset plastic use but also play a role in healing ecosystems affected by plastic pollution. In fact, last year alone, our joint efforts helped remove over 1 million pounds of plastic waste from waterways.
How Our Partners Can Get Involved
We invite our partners to take an active role in our sustainability journey. Here are ways to engage in our mission:
Awareness Campaigns: Help us share our plastic-neutral initiative and educate customers about the importance of reducing plastic waste.
Collaborative Projects: Team up with us to promote eco-friendly products and sustainability efforts in your community.
The Future is Plastic Neutral
Moving toward a plastic-neutral future requires us all to act together. At Phelps Pet Products, we view sustainability as more than just an obligation; it is a chance to set a positive example and motivate others.
By working alongside rePurpose Global, we are not only addressing our plastic footprint but also making real progress toward restoring ecological balance. This mission includes all of our partners, employees, and customers who are dedicated to making a positive change.
A Call to Action
We stand at a pivotal moment in the history of environmental sustainability. The partnership between Phelps Pet Products and rePurpose Global strengthens our commitment to reducing plastic pollution and building a more sustainable future. Our achievement of Plastic Neutral certification with Disney Table Scraps is just the beginning.
We invite every partner, customer, and stakeholder to join us in this crucial movement. Together, we can create a ripple effect leading to cleaner environments for our pets and communities. Let's embark on this journey together, becoming champions of sustainability and advocates for a planet free from plastic pollution.
