Sustainable Pet is an Australian social enterprise on a mission to help pet owners rethink waste and enrich lives, while mobilising resources to support cat and dog rescue.
Our Vision
Resilient communities and a circular economy where waste is designed out, value regenerated from waste, and socio-economic benefits stay in the community.
Aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals
Our Values
Our values underpin and drive what we do
Sustainability
We recognise that our actions, at every level, have an impact on the environment, society, and future generations.
Courage
It takes courage to challenge the status quo. Courage is also required for navigating uncertainty and taking action in spite of it.
Collaboration
Collaboration allows us to harness our respective strengths and pool resources to achieve shared outcomes.
Integrity
We strive to act ethically and honestly, maintaining high standards of professionalism and accountability.
Companies must re-envision and reimagine themselves as cyclical corporations whose products either literally disappear into harmless components or are so specific and targeted to a specific function that there is no spillover effect, no waste, no random molecules dancing in the cells of wildlife.

Meet the Team
Ling
Founder
Ling has had cats in her life since she was a little girl. When not doing the bidding of her cats, she can be found bushwalking and exploring places with her husband or pottering about in their garden. The beauty and regenerative ways of the garden make her ever hopeful for better outcomes for the plants, our pets and the planet.
Melody
Supervisor at Large
Adopted from a shelter which had a reportedly high kill rate. Vocal and demanding, especially for meals, treats, play and grooming sessions. Considers possums, wallabies and kangaroos her tribe.
Wally
Product Tester
Pulled out from a wall as a newborn kitten and bottle-fed. Easily startled, makes whirring sounds when excited. Considers magpies and willy wagtails his tribe.
