This recycled paper-based cat litter is composed primarily of post-consumer newspaper treated to control odor and enhance absorbency. The specific composition can vary slightly depending on the product type (e.g., original, unscented, or textured), but generally includes recycled paper fibers, along with added minerals for odor control.
The utilization of recycled paper in this product offers several advantages. It provides a highly absorbent, dust-free alternative to traditional clay litters, contributing to a cleaner home environment. This characteristic is particularly beneficial for cats and owners sensitive to dust. Furthermore, the manufacturing process aligns with sustainable practices, diverting paper from landfills and reducing environmental impact. The product’s origins trace back to a farmer’s observation of the absorbent properties of newspaper, which led to its development as a commercially viable cat litter solution.
