Sustainability in Focus: How 51 Degrees North is Reducing Its Environmental Footprint

Our Commitment to a Greener Future


At 51 Degrees North, sustainability isn’t just a trend – it’s a core value that guides everything we do. We understand the importance of protecting the planet for future generations, and we’re constantly working to reduce our environmental impact. From the materials we choose to the way we produce and package our products, we’re taking significant steps to make our brand more eco-friendly.

Eco-Friendly Materials in Our Products


We’re proud to introduce a new range of products made from sustainable materials. Our new silicone bowls and recycled fabric jackets maintain the same durability and style as our standard collections. These eco-friendly alternatives are designed to meet the high standards our customers expect, while also helping to protect the planet and animal health. Additionally, we’re making a serious effort to eliminate all PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from our products in the very short term to ensure the safety of pets and the environment.

Reducing Waste in Our Production Process


Sustainability isn’t just about the products we make – it’s also about how we make them. Over the past year, we’ve introduced new processes in our production facilities to minimize waste and improve energy efficiency. We’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint, and we’re always looking for new ways to innovate in this area. This includes optimizing our supply chain to ensure that we work with ethical, environmentally conscious partners.

Sustainable Packaging Initiatives


We’re also rethinking the way we package our products. By using recyclable materials and reducing unnecessary packaging, we’re cutting down on waste and ensuring that our products arrive in stores in an eco-friendly way. Our goal is to eliminate single-use plastics in our packaging by 2027, and we’re already making great progress toward that target.

Join Us on Our Sustainability Journey


We believe that every small step counts when it comes to sustainability, and we’re committed to continuing our efforts to create a greener future for pets and their owners. We encourage our customers to join us on this journey by making conscious choices when purchasing products and supporting brands that prioritize the environment. Together, we can make a positive impact on the planet while ensuring a better future for all.
