Pet Food Packaging

Pet food packaging: successful options for performance and recyclability

They’re not just pets, they’re family. And that means their food packaging must protect and safely deliver the nutrients they need. Protecting the packaging content helps to ensure no food goes to waste. When packaging fails, consumers are unhappy, and all the resources and carbon used to make the product and packaging go to waste. Beyond that, consumers expect high performance packaging that is also made to recycle.

Dow offers a high quality and diverse portfolio of materials, combined with the expansive innovation and testing capabilities of Pack Studios, to support advanced pet food packaging. Our portfolio is expanding, and our focus is to preserve taste, freshness and nutritional value because our pets are family.
