A pet food store in a small village is leading the way for zero-waste pet food: A zero waste refill station was recently launched in Warrington, Cheshire. Since August, people have either been able to bring their own containers or buy a reusable one for £ 1 in the store and fill it with pet food or bird feed. The price depends on the weight.
The innovation is really a step back in time. In the 1980s, Pets Pantry had large seed containers in stores that allowed customers to shovel pet food into paper bags, business partner Karen Dutton Hodgkins told SO Stockton Heath e-magazine. "Then came plastic options and, like all shopkeepers, they were told this was the way forward." Karen believes they will be "the first pet store to introduce a no-waste refill option for pet food."
