The Environment Is Our Responsibility
It is not going to take one individual, one company, one leader or one country to reduce the effects of climate change. It will take all of us. Even the smallest decision will help the big picture if we all can pitch in. At West Coast Pet Care Centre, we want to try and do our part.
Here’s some initiatives we currently have in place at our purpose built premium facilities to reduce our carbon footprint and encourage sustainability:
- Renewable energy – solar panels 55kW Solar system.
- Floor heating used in largest kennels to minimise electricity use.
- All grounds water is underground sourced.
- Extensive tree plantings. Our Mariginiup property is abundant with trees.
Each staff member is committed to recycling, re-using and reducing
By taking individual responsibility we make sure that a difference is made.
Our daily habits and routines incorporate environmentally responsible practices, such as preparing our cardboard and packaging correctly for our recycling bins to ensuring the poo bags used on hikes are OXO biodegradable flat bags. Even our internet use contributes, with staff choosing Ecosia, a web search engine which donates 80% of its surplus income to non-profit conservationist organizations, with a focus on tree planting.
We’ll send you home with low environmental impact products
When your pet checks out from our premium boarding facilities, they will receive a ‘Going Home’ bag made from frosted EPI. These bags are produced with the EPI additive which breaks the bag down in approximately 18 months, making it a more environmentally responsible alternative.
