New Cotswold Granaries Food Range
100% responsible ‘Food Range’ released by Cotswold Granaries
Cotswold Granaries brand new home compostable packaging and 100% natural wild bird, hedgehog, duck and squirrel feed coming in January to the Wildlife World food range. Zero plastic, zero waste, zero consumer guilt!
25th January 2021, Wildlife World, based in Chavenage, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire, provides another product that leads to sustainability. Cotswold Granaries new ‘Food Range’ packed in fully home compostable packaging made entirely of starch and plant fibres. The 100% naturally sourced food range is available in 6 varieties, including high-quality, nutrient-dense feed for hedgehogs, squirrels, ducks and swans. Plus three mixes for wild birds with the ‘No Mess Mix’, ‘Sunflower Hearts’ and the ‘No Wheat Mix’.
Mark Pitman, General Manager at Wildlife World describes; “We’ve always had a strong sense of environmental responsibility here at Wildlife World and its great to be able to offer packaging for a product that is 100% home compostable. Many of our customers are looking to protect and preserve both the natural environment and the creatures that live there, so we believe this new 100% natural food range will be well received. Hopefully, other companies will follow suit, and we can start a trend towards a much more sustainable method of packaging products.”
Single-use plastic packaging accounts for an estimated 40% of all plastic produced in the world today. According to Defra, with more than half, or 51 million tonnes, recyclable waste ends up in landfills or destroyed in the UK. With stats like these everywhere and seemingly getting worse each year, the focus needs to turn to solutions for these mounting waste problems. The ethos at Wildlife World has always been as environmentally friendly as possible, and this new food range lives up to those standards and could offer a timely solution. Individuals that believe there needs to be a shift towards zero waste packaging and lifestyles can now start to make those changes with what they choose to buy. Cotswold Granaries wild food range with 100% home compostable packaging will hopefully be one of the first of many companies offering products that can help move towards a more sustainable future.
Luke Davies Product Designer at Wildlife World explains: “Sourcing all of the home compostable materials for the packaging of the new food range proved to be quite a challenge. It seems like we’re one of the only companies offering a 100% home compostable package of this type for wildlife feed on the market, which has meant working with suppliers to create a unique product.”
