OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“For our company, the clue is in our name, we are called Earth Animal for a reason, and as such we want to play our part in improving the wellness and longevity of not only Earth’s animals, but also the planet that sustains them. This partnership shows our commitment to reducing our plastic footprint while supporting marginalized communities around the world, a truly impactful collaboration.”
— Stewart Shanley, CEO
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
WE BELIEVE THAT ANIMALS ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN PETS
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
To claim a product is truly sustainable, it is vital to consider all elements of the product. We make tremendous efforts to source sustainable ingredients for our products but the packaging is just as important. That’s why we’ve made a commitment to add clear recycling instructions to our packages and to transition all packaging materials to 100% recyclable options by 2025.
STEP 2: A PLASTIC NEUTRAL PARTNERSHIP
We know that our efforts to eliminate plastic waste from our supply chain is a complex issue and will take years to adapt as new technologies are implemented. For immediate impact, we are thrilled to partner with rePurpose Global to offset the impact of our entire supply chain as we work to reduce the baseline plastic output. By going Plastic Neutral, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Our consumers care about the Earth and all the animals and people that live on it. Partnering with rePurpose Global shows our commitment to making the world a better place for future generations; after all, we’re all Earth Animals.
