Sustainability Series - #1 Kraft Paper Vs Plastic Packaging
For years, plastic has been the go-to packaging material for pet food brands. However, the environmental impact of plastic is devastating. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills and oceans, harming wildlife and contributing to global pollution.
How Kraft Paper Outperforms Plastic
Feature | Kraft Paper | Plastic Packaging |
---|---|---|
Biodegradability | Yes, decomposes in weeks | No, takes 500+ years |
Recyclability | Yes, easily recycled | Difficult, often ends up in landfills |
Toxic Chemicals | No harmful bleaching | Yes, contains microplastics |
Carbon Footprint | Low | High |
Eco-Friendliness | Sustainable & renewable | Derived from fossil fuels |
Not only does Kraft paper help eliminate plastic waste, but it also ensures that the packaging can be safely disposed of without damaging the environment.
🐶 Why Kraft Paper is Perfect for Freezer-Friendly Dog Food
Since Paws on Plates delivers high-quality, fresh dog food, our packaging needs to be freezer-friendly to preserve its nutritional value. Some may wonder, “Is Kraft paper durable enough for freezer storage?” The answer is yes!
Here’s why Kraft paper packaging works perfectly in a freezer:
1. Moisture-Resistant and Sturdy
While standard Kraft paper is naturally absorbent, Kraft paper packaging can be coated with a food-safe lining to ensure moisture resistance. This prevents freezer burn while keeping the food fresh and safe to eat.
2. Space-Efficient for Freezer Storage
Our Kraft paper pouches are designed to be compact and stackable, making it easy for pet parents to store multiple meals without taking up too much freezer space.
3. Resealable for Convenience
Unlike single-use plastic bags that often require clips or separate containers, our Kraft paper packaging includes a resealable lid, allowing you to conveniently open, serve, and close the package without hassle.
4. Eco-Friendly Even After Freezing
Unlike plastic, which can leach chemicals when frozen, Kraft paper remains non-toxic and completely safe for storing pet food.
These freezer-friendly features mean that Paws on Plates’ Kraft paper packaging offers both practicality and sustainability—something every eco-conscious pet owner will appreciate.
