Composting Made Easy – With Cardboard That Breaks Down Naturally
At ShredEase, our bedding isn’t just great for pets — it’s kind to the planet too. Made from clean, untreated cardboard, it breaks down quickly in compost heaps, making it an eco-friendly choice for conscious pet owners. 🌱
However, we always recommend checking with your local waste or composting service before disposal, as rules can vary.
And please note: bedding that contains faeces may not be suitable for home composting due to potential health risks.
