At Ecohound we understand the importance of recycling.

Recycling our plastic helps the environment and the future of our planet

Recycling our plastic means we are creating less new plastic which is definitely a good thing for our planet
Recycling reduces the need to extract new and limited raw materials from the earth
Recycling means using less energy in the sourcing and processing of new raw materials & lower carbon emissions.
Recycling is a cheaper option to waste collection and disposal

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle your plastic bottles and we will make some bags!

Take it one step further…….

Refuse to be part of the problem.  Say no to unnecessary plastic like straws, cutlery or cups.
Re-Purpose instead of throwing used plastic away, ask yourself if it can be repurposed into something useful or creative for your home.
Repair when you can.  A repair is often simple and costs a lot less than a replacement.
Remove old, unwanted plastic from your life and make sure it is recycled positively
Rally recycling, do the right thing and spread the word.

 

Putting plastic waste to good use at Ecohound

Our dog waste bags and plastic packaging contain recycled post-consumer plastic waste.

With the continuing drive towards a circular economy post-consumer waste is becoming an attractive and sustainable option within the plastics industry. All reusable plastic waste is reprocessed to a very high standard. If we get in right and recycle it will become an almost inexhaustible resource helping cut down on the use of virgin plastic and the overuse of fossil fuels.

Driving a circular economy at Ecohound our ranges of dog waste bags now contain 50% post-consumer recycled waste + 25% Oceanex, meaning our bags use just 25% virgin plastic and meet Global Recycling Standard certification.
