Make a Choice: Planet Dog makes toys, not waste. Not only are all the Orbee-Tuff® toys 100% recyclable, but they reuse all of their post-production material that would otherwise be discarded. They call this post-production material “regrind” because they literally take the excess material, regrind it, then mold it into another toy that’s just as doggie-durable, buoyant, bouncy, and minty as the first. Planet Dog also accepts old and well-tossed returned Orbee-Tuff® toys for future production, creating a closed-loop recycling process.

The wood chuck is engineered with sustainable bamboo and reused cork scraps. This device is excellent for throwing the distance again and again. The bamboo core offers strength and maximum chuck-ability with an ergonomic cork handle for comfort and grip-ability throw, after throw, after throw. The 4-pronged claw coupled with the pliant nature of the accompanying Orbee-Tuff® products make it a cinch to grab and throw. Planet Dog donates 2% of its proceeds to its non-profit Planet Dog Foundation, which provides cash grants and in-kind support to programs throughout the United States that train, place and support dogs who work to help people in need. They strive to make maximum impact through grant giving, product donations, capacity building and referral services.

Not a Sacrifice: In their new book, Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living (2009) authors Robert and Brenda Vale, make the case that dog companions have more of an environmental impact than driving a big car. In fact, according to their international headline making findings, feeding and caring for a pet dog (roughly the size of a German Shepherd), has twice the environmental impact of driving a 4.6-litre Toyota Land Cruiser 10,000kms (6,213 miles) a year. While dog toys are only part of the calculation, buying recycled or recyclable toys like the Planet Dog Wood Chuck with Orbee-Tuff RecycleBall help reduce your dog's carbon pawprint and makes a great green gift.
