5 Reasons Why 20,654 Cat Lovers Have Ditched Dirty Clay Litter...

Most cat lovers are not aware that traditional clay litters are usually made of sodium bentonite, a mineral that is strip-mined and not biodegradable. A 2017 report reveals that more than five billion pounds of sodium bentonite is mined each year just for cat litter with the vast majority ending up in landfills—more than 125,000 truckloads each year. Catalyst solves this problem because it is biodegradable and does not require precious resources for its manufacture. In fact, the upcycled soft wood fiber used to make the litter is collected from wood processing facilities that would otherwise send it to a landfill. Because one pound of Catalyst does the work of three pounds of clumping clay litter, it also reduces pollution and carbon emissions that result from production and transportation.

The wood fiber starts out as a by-product from a sawmill on the industrial plant level. We then take these materials and upcycle them to create the litter. Because it is a by- product, we are not sacrificing additional materials from our beautiful planet.

Our motto around here is right on every package: Love your pet, Change your planet.

Some customers have asked us about the safety of pine as a litter because pine contains phenol, which is typically found in the bark and needles of pine trees. Natural and synthetic phenol in liquid form can be found in some cleaning fluids, but not in Catalyst.

Catalyst does not use any bark or needles; Catalyst does not add any liquid phenol into our product.
