Sustainable Dog Food,
insects as a food source.
ABOUT TEDS Sustainable dog food
At Teds, we are committed to creating a sustainable future for our four-legged friends and the planet. It is now common knowledge that the pet food industry has a significant impact on our environment. With up to 20% of the world's farm animals and fish used for pet food products, the pet food industry is responsible for approximately 5% of greenhouse gases emitted, making it a major contributor to climate change.
We believe it is our responsibility to do something about it. That's why we set out to create a new standard for pet food, one built on honesty, sincerity and sustainability.
Durable dog food WITH INSECT
We believe that the key to creating a sustainable future for our pets lies in using nutritious and environmentally friendly ingredients. This is why we have chosen Dutch insects as an alternative to traditional meat sources. These insects require far fewer resources to produce, emit up to 95% less CO2 and are a complete source of protein for pets.
Om een alternatief te bieden voor het huidige vis-eiwit hebben we specifiek gekozen voor Antarctische krill, aangezien deze soort zich op de bodem van de mariene voedselketen bevindt en leeft in pure, koude wateren, waardoor ze laag zijn in verontreinigingen. De krillvisserij is beperkt tot <0,35% van hun biomassa, waardoor ze een van de meest duurzame mariene eiwitbronnen zijn.
We are also committed to transparency in our sourcing, ensuring that our ingredients are sustainably harvested and preferably grown locally. Our Dutch insects are fed clean leftover fruit pulp and potato peels from nearby factories, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. Our krill is 100% traceable, MSC-certified and harvested environmentally friendly, meaning we take measures to ensure our harvesting practices have minimal impact on the environment.
durable packaging
Finally, we understand that sustainable packaging is critical to our mission. Therefore, we use mono-plastic packaging with recycle code 4, similar to plastic tote bags, which can be 100% recycled. This ensures that our packaging has minimal impact on the environment and can be reused for future generations.
We believe that by taking these steps, we can create a better future for our pets and the planet. We don't just want to talk about sustainability - we want to lead by example. Our hope is that others will follow in our footsteps and together we can create a world where pets can thrive while conserving our planet's precious resources. At Teds, we are committed to doing good, being fair and leading the way to a more sustainable future.
CO2-neutral
Teds is committed to contributing to the fight against climate change and protecting our planet. To achieve this, we have developed a roadmap that allows us to become carbon neutral and offset our emissions.
First of all, reducing our CO2 emissions is at the core of our business. We are constantly improving our processes and reducing our CO2 emissions to minimize our contribution to climate change. We have therefore established an internal program where we regularly monitor our performance and make adjustments where necessary.
In addition, we offset our CO2 emissions by planting trees. We partner with Trees for All, an organization dedicated to planting trees and protecting forests worldwide. Planting trees removes CO2 from the atmosphere while promoting biodiversity. We plant more trees than it takes to offset our CO2 emissions, ensuring that we make a positive contribution to protecting our planet.
Securing our carbon-positive practices is an ongoing process, and we remain committed to making our processes more sustainable. We work with partners and suppliers who share the same vision and are also committed to sustainability. In this way, we ensure that our entire chain is as sustainable as possible.
As a company, it is our responsibility to contribute to a better world. At Teds, we are committed to becoming carbon neutral and doing our part to fight climate change. Through our roadmap and collaboration with Trees for All and our partners, we ensure that we work in a sustainable way and contribute to a better future for our planet.
The impact of our trees
Trees for All supports several forest projects around the world. These projects have broad impacts. They contribute to a better climate, because trees store CO2. They increase biodiversity, because countless plants and animals depend on forests. And they contribute to healthy living conditions, because thanks to trees there is oxygen, clean air, water and food.
