How does CatGenie save the Environment?
 

Where does litter come from
and where does it end up?

Most cat lovers don’t realize where litter comes from. Like coal, it is mined. Strip mined. After being dug up, it’s processed, packaged, and trucked (most of the cost of a sack of litter is in transport) to stores where we buy and lug it home. Our cats contaminate it. The mess is saved until we get around to dumping it into plastic bags and trashing that. The offensive litter packaged in plastic, finally returns to the earth to become part of the landscape of landfill.
 
Last year, cat owners in the US purchased 1.7 billion dollars worth of litter. That’s about 8 Billion pounds of litter in one year. Since 1947, when this mined clay was first used for cats, the amount of contaminated litter now in landfills has piled to incalculable amounts. Hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of tons of this waste product continue to pollute the environment. CatGenie offers a clean, safe solution.
 
Where should the waste end up?
The US Environmental Protection Agency recommends that pet owners separate solid pet waste, without the litter, and flush it down the toilet. Waste from home drains and toilets goes to water treatment plants for proper decontamination. CatGenie complies with the EPA.
 
Washable Granules:
Both cat and Earth friendly.

Cats are instinctively clean. They wash themselves and they cover their waste. Cats in the wild have an endless supply of fresh sand. Domestic cats have litter boxes and the endless labor of their owners.
 
The secret to CatGenie is simply brilliant. Cat-comfy, permanent Washable Granules. Made from special recycled plastics and organic materials, they are 100% safe. Unlike plastics that take decades to break down, CatGenie Granules biodegrade in landfills within two years and in septic systems within 9 months. The Granules never need changing. Some will be lost as they may stick to solids. An occasional replenishment is all that’s needed.
 
Go from Sand to Sanitation and Sanity.
Sand does not clean. In fact, a recent study proved that germs and bacteria are more prevalent and last longer on a beach than in seawater.
 
CatGenie uses a cat-safe veterinarian approved sanitizing solution and fresh cold water. Water use is an extra toilet flush a day per cat.
 
Lets get out of the sand trap and stop contaminating landfills with cat waste.
