Boosting the sustainability of dog food bags

Mondi has worked with Hau-Hau Champion, a premium dog food company from Finland, to refresh the food manufacturer’s dog food line with a range of recyclable bags that align with the brand’s push for increased sustainability.

Using its mono-material form-fill-and-seal and FlexiCycle Recyclable bagging options (for pet food bags ranging from 1.5 to 15 kg), Mondi was able to produce sustainable bags that could be re-closed for freshness and scent retention without compromising on quality or performance. The packages can be recycled along with other plastic, allowing consumers to easily boost their sustainability.

The bags feature an anti-slip exterior and a valve that allows for optimal packing during palletisation and in response to customer requests, they feature stronger carrying handles.

“With Hau-Hau’s brand refresh, we were looking for packaging that fully aligns with our commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of our products and operations as well as upgrades the packaging to match the high quality of the product content,” said Suvi Sillvan, Brand Specialist at Hau-Hau Champion.

“Given that this is a premium product, we are especially pleased with the high-quality finish, including the printing, which retains brand familiarity on the shelf and informs consumers that they can easily recycle our dog food packs. The new packaging material also fully supports the fact that all our dry dog foods are now completely CO₂ neutral through carbon emission compensation.”
