Environment Policy

CJ WildBird Foods Limited develops products for wildlife together with many European green partners. Our aim is to reduce our harmful impact on the environment, and we are committed to reducing waste through reuse and recycling and by using refurbished and recycled products and materials where such alternatives are economical and suitable.

Our packaging

We assess our packaging requirements closely to ensure we strike the right balance between sustainability and durability especially during transit to our customers. We try to use a little plastic as possible and when it is necessary, such as for our oil rich fat products we use up to 70% recycled material RPET for our vessels. For our oil rich seed mixtures, we use a plastic that has a barrier so that oxygen cannot penetrate and spoil the food. This plastic also has properties of clarity, lightness and strength and extends the product’s shelf life; standards required by our retail customers. For our feeders we try to use minimum packaging and when it is required such as for our ceramics and WoodStone®, we use plain packaging where possible in materials that can be recycled.

We recycle our used cardboard by converting into shredded packing for use in our customer’s parcels. We also use biodegradable or recycled packing film which can biodegrade within 12-24 hours leaving no residue.
