Dandylion Sustainability
From ingredient sourcing to packaging design, we thoughtfully consider environmental impact at every stage of product development. This includes prioritizing recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable materials wherever possible, and focusing on refillable systems to reduce single-use waste. By encouraging reuse—particularly through our refill options for Clean Paws, Fresh Coat, and Soft Paws—we aim to minimize the need for new packaging and extend the life of existing components.
Eco-Conscious Packaging
DANDYLION BOTTLE & PUMP
• Bottle: Made of 100% PET - 100% recyclable, versatile material, and made to be remade.
• Pump: Most pumps on the market aren't recyclable due to the use of mixed materials that are difficult to separate at standard recycling facilities. While Dandylion’s pumps are currently not recyclable either, we’ve introduced refill options for Clean Paws, Fresh Coat, and Soft Paws to encourage customers to reuse their existing pumps and brushes—reducing waste and extending the life of each non-recyclable part.
• Labels: Our bottle labels are designed to be wash-off, allowing for proper separation during the recycling process and ensuring the bottles can be more easily and effectively recycled.
SHIPPING PACKAGING
Our shipping packaging is 100% recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, and/or made of recycled material.
• Shipping Boxes: FSC-Certified, compostable & made of 100% recyclable material
• Packaging Tape: Water activated & 100% recyclable
• Kraft Packing Paper: 100% recyclable
• Packing Peanuts: 100% biodegradable - just add water to dissolve
Local Production for a Lighter Footprint
At Dandylion, we create our products with purpose—not excess. By working closely with local manufacturers, we’re able to produce thoughtfully and efficiently, making only what we need to meet demand. This approach helps us reduce waste, avoid overproduction, and ensure each product is made with care from start to finish—all while supporting our local economy and minimizing our environmental footprint.
Ethically & Mindfully Sourced Ingredients
Ethically, sustainably, and mindfully sourced ingredients are top of mind.
All of our ingredients are vegan, cruelty-free & ethically sourced.
Our formulations are at least 98% natural & plant-derived and we opt for more sustainable plant sources where possible.
Looking Ahead: Climate Neutral Commitment
We’re actively exploring the steps toward becoming Climate Neutral Certified, aligning with our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.
Climate Neutral helps companies measure, offset, and reduce their carbon footprint—ultimately achieving net-zero emissions for the carbon created in making and delivering products.
While we’re not certified yet, we believe this is an important goal for our future—and we’re taking steps to get there.
