Ecobale: recycled cardboard bedding for animals and packaging

Ecobale manufactures and supplies cardboard animal bedding throughout the United Kingdom. The product is made from clean, recycled shredded cardboard and is presented as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional bedding materials such as wood shavings and straw. The company states that it provides a year-round uninterrupted supply.

The bedding is aimed at a healthier, cleaner environment for all animals, poultry and game. According to the company, it is particularly popular in the equestrian, agricultural and game and poultry rearing industries. The same material is also marketed as an effective packaging filler, positioned as a greener alternative to polystyrene chips.
