From Packing Material to Animal Bedding

FiberCore and the Eco-Bedding product line have a rich and storied history.  Developed in the early 1990's by John Ratzenberger, better known as Cliff Clavin on the TV show Cheers, Eco-Pak / Eco-Bedding was originally designed to be an environmentally friendly substitute for Styrofoam peanuts.  A consummate tinkerer, John saw an opportunity to offer a clean, light weight and ecological alternative to the ubiquitous packing material.  He saw his vision grow nicely and just as the company was being sold to a larger packaging company outside of Cleveland, a TIME magazine article about John caught the eye of an industrious distributor who could see the benefits of Eco-Pak as a bedding and enrichment material for a variety of animals.  After several tests, the Eco-Bedding was introduced into the consumer pet industry.

The Best Nesting Material Available Hypoallergenic • Completely Dust Free

Labor Savings. 

Since Eco-bed/nest absorbs from the bottom up, the top layer stays dry longer and animals are always on a dry surface. East to spot clean. Eco-bed/nest extends bedding changes from every two to three days to a week or more. Eco-bed/nest holds up to 3.1 times its weight in water.

Dust Elimination.

Eco-bed/nest is made of cleanly cut 1/8-inch strips of paper fibers, which means dust is virtually eliminated. Respiratory ailments and other problems resulting from airborne particles are drastically reduced which is important for animals or birds with sensitive respiratory systems.

Hypoallergenic.

Great for Asthma & Allergy sufferers (people, animals, and birds).

Maximum Animal Comfort.

The paper strands form a soft, springy, comfortable mat. The bedding in contact with the animal stays dry, as well, for added comfort. Plus, unlike wood-based beddings, Eco-bed/nest won't stick to the animals.

Environmental Enrichment.

Can be used as a top layer on other beddings that pack down (shavings, pellets, etc.) because Eco-bed/nest stays "fluffed-up". Also, animals can burrow and tunnel in it.

Safety Tested & Non-Toxic.

Safe for breeding animals and birds, and is not a choking hazard.

Consistent Quality.

Unlike harvested beddings such as wood and straw, Eco-bed/nest is a controlled, manufactured product made up of 100% recycled paper fibers to ensure consistent, high quality.

Improved Air Handling.

Elimination of airborne dust means fewer particles to filter and control, resulting in fewer filter changes.

Nesting Additive.

Eco-bed/nest appeals to rodents' and birds' urge to build nests.

Expands.

a little goes a long way.

Easy Disposal.

Because Eco-bed/nest is a paper product, it can be flushed or trashed for easy, economical disposal. Eco-bedding is 100% Recyclable and Biodegradable.
