OUR PLASTIC NEGATIVE PROMISE
REMOVING TWICE AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“Sustainability has been at the core of our DNA since inception - from ingredient sourcing, to the people who are employed along our supply chain- it all matters. Our partnership with rePurpose has allowed us to take responsibility for our plastic footprint in an impactful way that wasn't possible before.”
— Garrett Markenson, Founder + Hillary Markenson, President
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of twice as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Negative is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
DOING OUR PART TO INVEST IN A CLEANER FUTURE, FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste which would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

THREEPAWS GOURMET’S PLASTIC NEGATIVE JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Our company's commitment to sustainability starts with our suppliers, grows with our ingredients, and extends to our packaging. I value building an ethical business model that can be maintained as we scale. rePurpose Global has become an important part of our journey to do better. We’re grateful they can help us not only recover as much plastic as we use in our packaging, but go beyond that to double our impact with Plastic Negative.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEGATIVE SHIFT
Extending on its belief that businesses can have a positive impact on the environment and society, Threepaws Gourmet has gone Plastic Negative. Through its partnership with rePurpose Global, the company is empowering marginalized workers to better tackle plastic pollution in their communities.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
We're counting on more eco-friendly packaging options to become available to us in the future. But in the meantime, we're grateful to have found other ways that allow us to make just as impactful a difference to Mother Nature (or in our case, more with going Plastic Negative). We look forward to finding new ways to help protect our environment each and every year.
THIS IS HOW MUCH PLASTIC YOU
WASTE EVERY YEAR
The first step to real change always begins with understanding our existing reality. The way we live our lives today, we understand that it’s impossible to avoid plastic entirely. But with this simple survey, you can learn about your personal plastic consumption - and find yourself in the position to take action on it.
It’s a small step for you, and a significant leap for the planet.
