Pet care should be earth care too

Sustainability in pet care is easier to claim than to deliver. This page tells you exactly what we've done, what's in progress, and what we haven't solved yet.

Built to end up somewhere other than a landfill.

Both products ship in packaging built to be recycled — FSC paper, recyclable plastics, and post-consumer content where it counts.

Paper tube → paper recycling. Shaft → take-back.
take-back program

The shaft is the easy part. Getting it back is the work.

blythe ear swab shafts are made from recyclable PP. We're building a take-back programme that asks you to do one simple thing: cut the cotton off, collect the shafts, and send them back to us when you have a full mailer bag of it. We handle the recycling from there.

  1. 01

    Cut

    Remove the cotton tip from the shaft after use.

  2. 02

    Collect

    Fill a full bag with clean shafts before sending.

  3. 03

    Send

    Drop us an e-mail at team@blythepets.com and we'll send you return instructions.
