Our Ethics

Reuse & Recycle

Since 2019 we have reduced our plastic use by over 90% and our aim it to remove it completely.

Our trays are 100% recyclable, and made from 85% recycled material.

We use polystyrene to insulate our boxes in transit - this can be sent back to us for reuse via our Free Packaging Returns Scheme.

Over the last couple of years we have tested many alternative packaging (from wool to paper-filled liners, and even biodegradable mushroom fungus). Polystyrene is currently the only solution that works without adding extra cooling aids like dry ice or gel packs. New packaging is being created all the time and as soon as we find a newer solution you will be the first to know. 

Carbon Footprint 

At Poppy's PIcnic, we know that what we feed our pets has an impact on the planet. That’s why we’re committed to reducing our carbon pawprint at every stage of our production process. From responsibly sourcing our ingredients to using eco-friendly packaging and energy-efficient manufacturing, we’re taking steps to make our food as sustainable as possible.

Ethical Ingredients

As pet lovers, the welfare of all animals is of the utmost importance to us. We only work with meat suppliers who adhere to the strictest standards of supplying meat.

The farmers we work with all carry the Red Tractor standard mark, which indicates that all the food is traceable, safe to eat and has been produced responsibly.

Our meat supplies are not enhanced with hormones (which have been banned in the EU since 1989). We prefer to buy free range meat and are introducing more organic ingredients to our recipes.
