Snooza Pet Products

---

Snooza is a Melbourne based designer, manufacturer and distributor of pet products including dog beds, pet cushions, kennels and accessories. Snooza uses materials including plastic, steel, wool and foam padding as part of the manufacturing process.

Director, Victoria Hope, believes that a sustainable business is important to the company for a number of reasons.

Save Money

"First of all it saves us money. We use a lot of raw materials and have established systems to minimise waste, ensuring that everything that can be reused is fed back into the production process. For anything left over, we have thorough recycling systems in place to minimise disposal costs, not to mention waste to landfill."

Competitive Advantage

"Our environmental commitment stands us apart from our competitors. We have a free repair service which means customers can return products for repair rather than throwing them out. This service gives us an edge over the competition. It gives the customer a level of assurance about the life of the product, and it lets them know we’re doing the right thing, for them, and for the environment."

Staff Satisfaction

"All our staff are committed to a more sustainable workplace, and we encourage new ideas from everyone. I think the fact that they’re listened to, and their ideas are taken on board makes them a little happier – and hopefully a little more productive as a result!"

Sustainability Assessment Tool

"The Sustainability Assessment Tool has helped us further understand our environmental impact and identify opportunities for improvement. It’s a great way for capturing information to help us become a more sustainable business."
