KUDDLE Pet Bed: A Sustainable Innovation in Pet Comfort
On June 7th, the introduction of a new product, the
KUDDLE pet bed, marks a significant milestone in sustainable design, coming from a collaboration between Cyclers Co., Ltd. and Koala Sleep Japan. This new bed is a remarkable creation utilizing returned mattresses, with a structured aim at environmental sustainability and comfort for our furry companions.
Cyclers, headquartered in Ota City, Tokyo, has been actively pursuing circular economy principles since its establishment in 2020. In March 2023, the company partnered with Tricycle Co., Ltd. to align their operations with sustainability goals. This collaboration focuses on the collection and resale of returned products from Koala, an Australian bedding brand, that have passed rigorous inspection standards ensuring comfort for the end user. However, a challenge arose regarding items unsuitable for resale, leading to thermal recycling, which prompted both companies to think innovatively.
In a pioneering effort, Koala Sleep Japan initiated a project to upcycle returned mattresses into pet beds as part of its sustainability activities. Collaborating closely with Cyclers’ design and product teams, they strategized ways to minimize environmental impact while delivering high-quality comfort.
The KUDDLE pet bed's cover is crafted from unused mattress covers that are no longer needed, perfectly embodying the commitment to reusing materials. This initiative not only reduces waste but also conveys Koala’s strong ethos towards environmental responsibility. What stands out is how Cyclers has transformed this concept into a tangible product that meets both aesthetic and practical needs for pet lovers.
Beginning June 7, the KUDDLE pet bed will be available for purchase exclusively through Koala's official website, with a limited release of just 300 units. This inaugural launch presents an opportunity for eco-conscious consumers to invest in a product that prioritizes sustainability without compromising on quality or comfort.
For consumers eager to take part in this sustainable venture, further information can be found on Koala's website:
Koala Official Site. The product page is set to launch on the same date, providing details on the bed's unique features, benefits, and purchasing options.
