Our goal: 100% recyclable packaging by 2025
Hill’s is one of the first major pet food manufacturers globally to switch to completely recyclable dry pet food packaging. This breakthrough recyclable material was co-developed with our bag suppliers, and we will roll it out in 2021 for our brand Vet Essentials in Europe.

Vet Essentials Packaging
Look for more bags to be added starting 2021
To make sure your dry pet food bag is recyclable, look for one of these codes
Our recyclable Vet Essentials bags are made out of #4 Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic – one of the most recycled plastics. LDPE can be turned into all kinds of new things, including construction materials and new packaging.

We want to keep a good thing going
Our plan is to continue the rollout of recyclable packaging across all of our brands and across other parts of the world — just one part of the larger 2025 environmental strategy from our parent company, Colgate-Palmolive.
