Ruff & Whiskerz Bamboo Pads Nab Pet Innovation Award For “Waste Innovation of the Year”
15 August 2024 - 1:05PM
The 2024 Pet Innovation Awards, an independent recognition platform
highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products
in the highly competitive Pet care industry, today announced that
KTR Group’s Ruff & Whiskerz Bamboo Pads are 2024’s “Waste
Innovation of the Year.”
Ruff & Whiskerz Bamboo Pads are dog waste management pads
that feature a five-layer protection system, and each pack contains
50 pads. This system works to effectively lock in moisture and
prevent leaks and are made from eco-friendly bamboo material, which
are gentle on both the environment and pets.
Features include Natural Odor Eliminating Properties; the
ability to hold up to 4 cups of water; Built-in Attractant;
Antibacterial properties; and Sustainably Sourced Bamboo
Viscous.
Thanks to its fibers, bamboo naturally fights off bacteria and
fungi. This means bamboo products resist microbial growth and
odors. Bamboo’s antimicrobial properties are also a safe and
sustainable choice as they don’t employ the use of chemical
additives.
In addition, every package of Ruff & Whiskerz is certified
Plastic Neutral by rePurpose Global to help solve the global
plastic waste crisis. Every purchase of a Ruff & Whiskerz
product allows for the removal of an equal amount of plastic from
nature. The organizations' impact projects have recovered
66,995,727 pounds of nature-bound plastic.
“KTR Group’s Ruff & Whiskerz Bamboo Pads are ideal for pets
and their owners who prioritize comfort, good hygiene, and
sustainability. Bamboo’s natural resistance to microbes makes it an
eco-friendly and health-conscious choice for pet owners who get the
double satisfaction of helping out the planet while keeping their
dogs clean and comfortable,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director,
Independent Innovation Awards. “We’re thrilled to recognize Ruff
& Whiskerz Bamboo Pads with the ‘Waste Innovation of the Year’
award and look forward to continuing innovation from KTR Group’s
growing line of unique pet-centric brands.”
