Barkwheats' Local Ingredient Choices
How Is Barkwheats Dog Biscuits Helping You To Be Sustainable?
Acting in a sustainable fashion means doing whatever you can to make your impact on the Earth as small as possible. Is it easy? Absolutely not! Can we help make it a little easier for you and your dog? Absolutely YES!
By purchasing local ingredients as often as possible we limit the amount of fossil fuels needed to make your dog happy. By using organic ingredients, we make sure the soil is taken care of and make sure limited fossil fuels are used in making chemical fertilizers for crops. The paper we use in the office is recycled paper, which helps to limit fresh cut trees from entering your waste stream. Our packaging is recycled and made sustainably, which gives you the peace of mind in knowing materials were re-used and taken out of the waste stream to help make this product for you.
We even take things a step further by using Apple Computers which use the least amount of energy of any desktop on the market. Our supplier of botanicals runs their operation on wind and solar power. Our biscuits are cut on a machine that is hand cranked using only human energy. The last detail to help give you the benefit of sustainability is our credit card processor runs on wind and solar power (and they're originally from Maine, so we get to call them a "local ingredient", too).
All of this gives you, our customer, the benefit of sustainability. Every little bit helps, and even if all you can do is purchase our biscuits for your loved one, you can know you're having a hand in creating a better Earth for all.
