The cleanest and healthiest straw on earth 😊🌍

Our insulation is not only sustainable but also useful! Sterilized with a steam method approved for food use, it contains no additives and is perfectly safe.

Valuing the straw: Practical and useful

Here are some ways to reuse this hay in your daily life:

  • Natural cushion for your pet: Fill a cushion or basket and offer a unique texture that can be very comfortable for dogs and cats to snuggle and rest

  • Sensory play area or snuffle mat: Dogs and cats are curious about hay due to its smell and texture. An excellent material to enrich their environment and stimulate their curiosity. Hide treats or small toys in the hay to encourage them to sniff them out, contributing to their olfactory training and reducing boredom.

  • Food or bedding for rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, or guinea pigs: Use the hay as food or comfortable bedding

  • Horse stalls: It can also serve as bedding in horse stalls, providing a clean and healthy environment

  • Soil protection and nutrition in your garden: Spread the hay around your plants to protect and nourish the soil, which helps retain moisture and enrich the soil

  • Bird cage base: Spread a layer of hay at the bottom of bird cages. Natural and comfortable, it makes collecting waste easier and offers a natural playground for birds who like to forage

Disposal of the straw: Easy ♻️

Our hay is 100% biodegradable and compostable, making its disposal environmentally friendly.

The packaging is made from tea bags and is also 100% biodegradable and compostable. So, you can dispose of it worry-free along with the straw.

In Switzerland, here is how you can dispose of this hay in an eco-friendly way:

  • Organic/compost waste: Place the hay in the organic waste bin. It will naturally decompose and contribute to compost creation

  • Green bin / Garden waste: You can also put it with green yard waste in the designated bin. The hay will enrich the recycling cycle by turning into excellent compost

Long live the hay 🌍🌱♻️
