What Is the Source Material?

At ShredEase, we believe the foundation of premium pet bedding starts with quality material. That’s why we source our cardboard directly from a UK-based cardboard factory. It’s not just any cardboard — it's the clean, unused offcuts from their box production process. This material is a byproduct of existing manufacturing, giving it a second life as high-performance bedding for animals of all shapes and sizes — without the need to produce anything new.

How Is It Processed?

For our ShredEase Original bales, the process begins with shredding the raw cardboard, followed by multiple stages of dust extraction to ensure a cleaner final product. We then pass the material through an additional separation stage to remove unwanted fragments before it is baled and packaged. The result is a consistent, safe, and absorbent bedding product that’s suitable for a wide range of pets.

What Makes Your Production Different?

We can't speak for other manufacturers, but here’s what sets ShredEase apart:

Premium inputs: We only use high-grade cardboard offcuts — not general waste.

Constant refinement: As a small, independent UK business, we’re nimble. We continuously test and evolve our processes to deliver a better product.

Responsiveness: We listen to our customers and adapt quickly, without layers of red tape.

Being small means we can be dynamic — always improving, always responsive to pet and owner needs.

What Are Your Environmental Considerations?

♻️ Packaging

Our bags might not be the prettiest on the shelf, but they’re among the most sustainable. Made from recycled materials and fully recyclable, our packaging is produced by a UK company that shares our environmental ethos. We’ve chosen function over gloss — and the planet wins because of it.

🪵 Cardboard

We don’t create new waste to make bedding. The cardboard we use is a byproduct of UK industrial processes, meaning no additional trees are felled and no extra energy is wasted just to produce our raw material. It’s clean, premium-grade cardboard that already exists — we simply give it a better purpose.

☀️ Energy

Running industrial machines takes power — and we’ve taken responsibility for ours. Our production line is powered by solar panels installed on-site, making us energy self-sufficient and reducing our reliance on external, non-renewable sources. (*Insert Energy Saving Trust or relevant solar energy link here*)

In Summary

ShredEase is more than a bedding company — we’re part of a smarter, cleaner future for pet care. Every bale represents:

- Reduced environmental impact
- Responsible UK-based sourcing
- Cleaner homes for pets
- A smaller footprint for the planet
