Today, 85% of cat litter is made up of non-renewable resources, like bentonite clay and silica. While these ingredients may come from the Earth, they’re often misleadingly labeled as “natural” despite being ecologically harmful. Bentonite is surface-minded through a process called back-casting, which involves removing crucial topsoil from an environment. This exposes the remaining soil to direct sunlight, killing off all life that inhabits healthy, fertile dirt. And to make matters worse, nearly ten million tons of bentonite end up in landfills each year—just from cat litter alone.

At Sustainably Yours, environmental impact is a top priority so our plant-based litter avoids harmful mineral extraction processes. Instead of creating more waste, our litter is returned back to the ground—creating a closed loop production.

Our sustainability initiatives go beyond simply sourcing plant-based ingredients. We’ve developed a manufacturing process that prioritizes both the planet and your cat’s health.

For example, instead of using fossil fuels, we use biomass to power key parts of our production process. Additionally, to meet rigorous performance and safety standards, we use monocomponent packaging with bioplastic, which improves the recyclability of our product.

To prioritize cat health, we use specially designed equipment to create smooth, round grains – this ensures that the texture of our litter is just right for your cat’s sensitive paws. We also employ proprietary machinery to remove dust during key parts of the production process. This results in a virtually dust-free product that protects cats from possible respiratory issues.
