Plastic-Free Play: How Your Dog’s Toy Choice Impacts the Ocean

What your dog plays with doesn’t just affect your home — it affects the planet.

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to marine ecosystems, and pet products contribute more than many realise.

From Chew Toy to Microplastic

Plastic toys don’t disappear when thrown away. They:

Break into microplastics

Enter waterways

Harm marine life

Remain in ecosystems for hundreds of years

Even “durable” toys eventually degrade.

Why Seaweed Is Ocean-Safe

Seaweed is:

Fast-growing and renewable

Sustainably harvested

Naturally biodegradable

Safe for marine ecosystems

Marine Kind toys break down naturally and can be composted at home within weeks — leaving no trace behind.

Small Choice, Big Impact

Choosing a plastic-free dog toy may seem small, but multiplied across households, it creates real change.

Every Marine Kind chew supports cleaner oceans, healthier pets, and a more responsible future for pet care.
