The unique pet foods of Planet Pet Society are made using ingredients “with a second chance”. Second-chance ingredients are nutritionally rich and high-quality, unused food created during the processing of meats, fruits, and vegetables. The new brand is 100% climate neutral thanks to its unique composition, modern production, fully recyclable packaging, and carbon offsetting. In this way, VAFO is responding to the global problem of food waste in the spirit of a responsible business strategy. Moreover, purchases of Planet Pet Society foods will actively support the restoration of the Baltic Sea. “Upcycling is a new way of looking at the selection of quality, nutritionally rich ingredients with a smaller impact on the planet. They’re ideal for covering the natural nutritional needs of dogs and cats with a primary component of animal protein, while at the same time easing the strain on the environment. We’ve developed a food that’s friendly to the environment and reduces food waste. And it’s because we love nature, just like our fourlegged buddies do, so we want to do what we can to protect it for them,” said Karolína Čápová, Head of Product at VAFO Group. VAFO continues on the path to a wholly sustainable business and produces pet foods with maximum respect for nature and ecology. In this way, the company is responsibly fulfilling its obligations to produce food with love for pets and the planet we live on together. VAFO stated that it is a pioneer and European leader in the use of alternative proteins from insects, bacteria, and plants.
