How to Save The World with Your Pets: UNIMIN Recycles Plastic Bottles into Safe, Sustainable Dog Gear

At UNIMIN, we’re committed to making thoughtful choices that benefit both pets and their humans. By carefully selecting eco-friendly materials where feasible, we strive to minimize our environmental impact while ensuring the highest quality and functionality in our designs. By using REPREVE® recycled fibers in our collars, harnesses, and leashes, we’re giving new life to plastic bottles that might otherwise end up in landfills or oceans. Let’s explore just how many bottles it takes to create our eco-friendly pet gear!

Breaking Down the Bottle Counts

Our innovative use of REPREVE® fibers, made from recycled plastic bottles, sets us apart as a brand that combines sustainability with functionality. Here’s how many bottles go into each of our products:

UNIMIN Collars

• Small: 0.5 plastic bottle

• Medium: 1 plastic bottle

• Large: 1 plastic bottle

• Extra Large: 1 plastic bottle

Each collar is crafted to provide durability and comfort while making a positive environmental impact. Even the smallest size contributes to reducing plastic waste!

UNIMIN Harnesses

• Small: 2 plastic bottles

• Medium: 3 plastic bottles 

• Large: 4 plastic bottles

• Extra Large: 5 plastic bottles

Our harnesses not only ensure your pet’s safety and comfort but also embody our commitment to sustainability. The larger the harness, the more bottles are repurposed, showcasing the impact of upcycling.

UNIMIN Leashes

• Standard-Size: 4 bottles

The versatile UNIMIN leash combines eco-friendly materials with innovative design, transforming discarded bottles into a reliable walking essential for your pet.

Why We Chose REPREVE® Fibers

At UNIMIN, we believe in combining innovation with responsibility. That’s why we chose REPREVE® fibers from UNIFI, Inc. Not only are these fibers made from recycled plastic bottles, but they also come with FiberPrint® technology, which allows us to trace and verify how many bottles went into each product. This transparency and reliability ensure that our efforts to reduce plastic waste are measurable and impactful. With REPREVE®, we’re turning waste into high-quality materials while contributing to a greener planet, one product at a time.

Turning Trash Into Treasure

It’s inspiring to think that the gear you use every day—from a collar to a harness—started as discarded plastic bottles. Here’s how this transformation benefits the environment:

• Reduces Ocean Pollution: Plastic bottles that might have ended up polluting the oceans are repurposed into fibers.

• Conserves Resources: By recycling existing materials, we reduce the need for new plastic production.

• Supports a Circular Economy: Every product helps close the loop on plastic waste, promoting sustainability.

Why Your Choice Matters

When you choose UNIMIN products, you’re not just investing in high-quality, veterinarian-crafted pet gear—you’re actively contributing to a healthier planet. Together, we’re creating a better future for our pets and the environment they live in.

A Shared Vision

Every bottle counts, and every choice matters. With your support, UNIMIN will continue to innovate and expand our sustainable practices. Let’s keep turning plastic waste into products that make pets and their humans smile!
