PSC Hosts Webinar Discussing Flex Forward Program

The Pet Sustainability Coalition is hosting a webinar on its Flex Forward program this coming September 22 at 11 a.m. Mountain Time.

According to research conducted on behalf of the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC), it is estimated that 300 million pounds of plastic pet food and treat bags are generated in the United States each year. It is also estimated that 99% of this packaging does not currently have an end-of-life solution outside of the landfill. Through the financial generosity of Earth Animal, PSC launched Flex Forward in early 2019, the first return to retail packaging pilot dedicated specifically to the pet industry.

8,356 pounds of pet food and treat packaging collected and 127 participating retailers later, PSC has released “Flexing Forward: A pet industry report on the first collaborative in-store recycling program for plastic pet food and treat bags.”

Please join PSC, Earth Animal, Pet Food Experts, and Pet Pros in a discussion on the findings of the report and pilot so far, the many lessons learned, and next steps.
