Our packaging

We at Natural Instinct are as committed to helping our planet as we are to ensuring the long, happy and healthy lives of our dogs, and that's why where ever possible we encourage the recycling of our packaging.

Our expanded polystyrene (EPS) boxes are environmentally friendly, in that they do not contain CFC or HCHC gases that are harmful to the ozone layer.

EPS is fully recyclable, and is neither noxious or in any way a risk to health.

As an alternative to recycling, why not reuse our boxes? They make great containers for gardening, for perhaps plantings seeds (the soil is kept warm during the cold winters by the polystyrene) or even growing next year's crop of tomatos. You could even donate the boxes to your local school to be used in art class, for science projects or even set-building in drama!

Our cardboard boxes are made from recycled materials, and can be easily recycled or reused.

Where it is necessary to pad your parcel to stop movement in transit, we use biodegradable corn starch "peanuts". These are totally biodegradable, and dissolve in water. They also naturally degrade after thirty days.
