Verifying recycled content in pet products

10 Mar 2025

Petmate is an American manufacturer of pet products which supplies major retailers. The company is committed to creating safe and durable items, while also investing significantly in sourcing and manufacturing products with a low environmental impact.

To make customers and the wider industry aware of its commitment to the environment, Petmate worked with the Intertek Assuris team to verify the percentage of recycled plastic used in its US-made dog kennels. After comprehensive analysis involving raw material purchases and factory audits, we were able to verify the company’s claim that the kennels are “made from 95% recycled polypropylene”.

Having substantiated this claim, Petmate can confidently market the environmentally friendly credentials of these kennels, helping consumers to make more informed product choices.
