LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.”
