Sustainability initiative

Our commitment and our responsibility extend much further than the bowl.

For generations, Interquell Petfood has stood for healthy and varied pet food, whilst taking responsibility for people, animals and the environment. We love animals and respect nature. That is why we want to enable every pet to enjoy a long, healthy and happy life. We are committed to producing species-appropriate pet food every single day. Wherever possible, we source raw materials from farm animals regionally and in a species-appropriate manner. We also develop new products using alternative protein sources such as insects. We support active animal and species conservation and focus on innovative projects relating to the protection of domestic, farm and wild animals. We also encourage the presence of dogs in the office. At our site in Wehringen, 21 dogs are already helping to create a pleasant working atmosphere.

Andreas Müller, project leader for the sustainability initiative

As one of the young generation in our family-owned company, sustainable development in harmony with our planet and society is very important to me. This major, inter-generational challenge needs to be tackled step by step.

Biofilter system

Filtering the air extracted from the production halls

By constructing a biofilter system we are now able to biologically purify the extract air from production. The warm air extracted from the production halls (which smells of dog food) is routed through a bed of wood chips. This cools the air entirely naturally and filters it so that only fresh, clean air comes out at the other end. This avoids unpleasant odours being released into our environment.

HVO fuel pump for company vehicles

Innovative diesel fuel made from renewable raw materials

HVO100 (hydrotreated vegetable oil) is a synthetic diesel fuel produced entirely from renewable raw materials such as vegetable waste and residual oils. Our lorries and Sprinters are refuelled with this innovative diesel fuel at our company’s own petrol pump at our site in Bobingen.

100% recycled waste paper
Saving packaging materials

All our cardboard packaging is made from 100% unbleached and solvent-free waste paper. It is thus fully recyclable. We use only environmentally-friendly materials and reduce the thickness of our animal feed packaging as much as possible.
