Sustainable Pet Food Packaging
In the midst of a booming pet ownership trend and escalating demand for pet food products, the pet food packaging market is experiencing remarkable growth. It is projected to expand at a 5.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028, enlarging the market size from $11.1 billion to nearly $15 billion. This surge underscores the pressing need for innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that cater to the modern consumer’s and the environment’s needs.
At CDF, we’re leading the way with our comprehensive range of sustainable pet food packaging solutions, highlighted by our pioneering Smart Pail®. This product exemplifies our commitment to sustainability and innovation, designed to address both current market demands and future environmental considerations.
Our Smart Pail® represents our dedication to sustainability, utilizing up to 80% less plastic and offering a 33% increase in product capacity over traditional plastic pails. This design not only meets the bulk packaging requirements of the industry but also markedly lessens environmental impact.
The Pet Food Bag Replacement System
Revolutionizing traditional packaging, the Smart Pail® serves as an advanced alternative to conventional plastic pails. It features a corrugated outer box with a vacuum-formed insert, alongside versatile sealing options such as Peel and Reseal™ and One Peel™ lids, ensuring pet food freshness and longevity. Importantly, the Smart Pail®’s five-gallon capacity is perfect for pet food storage, accommodating up to 17 lbs. of dog food or 20 lbs. of cat food, making it a versatile solution for pet owners.
There are both cost savings and environmental benefits to using our square plastic Smart Pail® solution compared to conventional plastic pails, which we’ll cover more in the next two sections. Some general benefits of Smart Pail® include:
- It offers an improved oxygen barrier to help keep food products fresher for longer.
- It can be outfitted with a variety of lidding options, including the integration of tamper-evident systems, for enhanced open and close convenience.
- The square-shaped container is ideal for 360-degree branding and for increasing exposure.
- Contents packaged in the pail can be either scooped or poured, maximizing convenience for the end consumer.
Environmental Impact
Our Smart Pail® doesn’t just use less plastic than conventional plastic pails, but it’s also collapsible and recyclable.
Additionally, it can be outfitted with a variety of lidding solutions to help preserve freshness and make pet food last longer, cutting down on spoilage and food waste.
Finally, Smart Pail® is stackable and easy to transport, meaning more shipments can fit on fewer truckloads, reducing transportation emissions.
Cost Effectiveness
Because less plastic is used to create Smart Pail®, there are material cost savings involved in adopting this packaging format. Additionally, Smart Pail® offers proven productivity benefits on the shop floor, which helps facilitate cost savings on labor.
