Nat’s Pet Food Mat’s
Green Statement

We Recycle & Reuse. Our primary source of material for our Nat Mats (TM) is taken from unused and re-purposed manufactured vinyl flooring--which means we have not added more pollution to our environment by ordering additional materials on which to paint your mat. Most of our packaging is made from cardboard and is made from recycled paper. It  is completely recyclable after use, and re-use.  In terms of the hierarchy of actions by green businesses (and personal behavior), the highest ranked and best use of resources is to firstly reduce the original waste we create and secondly to. re-use what is available to us, maybe several times even, and thirdly, to recycle everything else.  Keep in mind that your pet place mat is reusable.  It’s easy to clean and is long-lasting. If necessary, it can easily be cut to smaller sizes for other re-uses.  

We Do Not Use Lead Paint.  We use quality non-toxic water-based paint made in the USA, rather than smelly, gassy paints that are manufactured with potentially harmful or lethal components. 

We Reduce Waste. We reduce our packaging and avoid plastic as much as possible, since most plastic is non-recyclable due to complicated carbon molecule patterns within the infinite variety of plastics and lack of motivation on the part of the plastic industry. I can’t identify what companies the entire plastic industry consists of, but vinyl flooring manufacturers are certainly a part of it.  We hope we’re acting responsibly to improve the environment by re-using this flexible, durable material.
