Beco Pets forges "green alliance"

From now on, PPI will be the master distributor of Beco Pets products in the USA. Through the PPI partnership, Beco is linked to a clutch of America's key wholesalers, including the Animal Supply Company, which distributes to the West Coast, and Pet Food Experts, who cover the Midwest and East Coast. Beco is also linking up with leading regional wholesaler Frontier, which supplies Michigan, Ohio and Indiana retailers. 
London-based Beco Pets has reportedly gained listings in the past with some of the US's largest wholesalers, including Animal Supply Company, Pet Food Experts, Frontier Distributing and Rio Grande. Now Beco Pets is launching a new raft of "green", eco-friendly products on the US market. "Our product range covers all four main life activities of dogs and cats: fetch, eat, poop and sleep, in other words toys, bowls, poop bags and beds," says Beco's co-founder George Bramble. "Our dog and cat bowls are made from bamboo fibres taken from off-cuts when chopsticks are made, and our Beco beds contain stuffing made from recycled plastic soda bottles."The company aims to bring a new range of eco-friendly toys to the US market, including the brand new Beco Flyer, a flying disc dog toy that whizzes through the air to the delight of its canine catchers.

George Bramble: "All our rubber chew toys, including the Beco Flyer, are made from 100 per cent natural rubber and rice husks, which are toxin-free and extra tough." David Levy, the founder of PPI, remarks: "I spotted British firm Beco Pets as a high-flyer when we agreed to act as their master distributor across the US. I was impressed by their unique offer, great style and green environmental credentials." Levy admits that he is really impressed by the approach of the Beco Pets products, choosing renewable resources and natural rubber: "There is nothing else in the US pet market with the same green credentials as Beco Pets."
