Is Greenies sustainable?
We do not yet score enough Greenies products to give the brand a sustainability rating. Mars has pledged to make all Greenies packaging 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025; the brand uses FSC-certified paperboard in some packaging and participates in Mars’ greenhouse gas reduction goals.
We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.
