Want to learn more about what makes West Paw Design eco friendly? Well, you are at the right place!

At West Paw Design, we believe in making a commitment to the environment! We...

Minimize Waste: Not only have we developed a manufacturing process that minimizes waste (currently as low as 2.4%!) we also took it into consideration when designing our state-of-the-art building. It was constructed using the latest developments in energy efficient design in 2001.

Re-use and recycle materials throughout our manufacturing process: Scrap materials are used to create new toys; Reclaimed and reused old boxes are utilized to store finished goods rather than plastic manufacturing totes (many reused boxes at our facility were even previously used to ship bananas before coming here - now that's a lot of reusing). We also incorporate recycled material in our shipping boxes.

West Paw uses eco friendly components in our products, like...

IntelliLoft™: We utilize recycled IntelliLoft fibers that are derived from recycled plastic bottles in all of our pet beds and many of our pet toys. Learn More about IntelliLoft.

Organic Cotton: Making organic cotton an option in our bumper bed line lets our customers choose to purchase a "greener" option.

Reclaimed Cotton: Offering dog sweaters made from reclaimed cotton utilizes a resource that already exists, which reduces waste, adds no new chemicals, and saves water. Learn more about reclaimed cotton.

Organic Catnip: Found in almost all of our cat toys, our US grown catnip has premium mixture of leaves and flowers provide a fragrant aroma and is USDA Certified Organic! Learn more about Catnip.

Zogoflex: Is super durable and made to be 100% recyclable. Toys made of this material will last a lifetime, and if it doesn't - it is guaranteed! You get your money back (or a one-time replacement) and the toy gets recycled! Learn More about Zogoflex®

Packaging: PLA corn-based, petroleum-free plastic is used in the packaging on our Hurleys, Hucks, and Tux toys. All of our paper packaging, envelopes, letterhead, etc. contains recycled content. All items have at least 30%, but most of these items are 100% recycled content.

Going Green is not a new fad, it is who we are and how we live! From incorporating technology to help our office go paperless, to recycling magazines, paper, plastic, and aluminum cans in our breakroom! We strive to make a minimal impact every day and continue to look for more ways to grow even more green! It shows that we like our environment and want to keep our Earth a clean planet for all!
