In May 2026, Interzoo, the world's top pet exhibition, will be held as scheduled in Nuremberg, Germany. This session will for the first time set up a special award for sustainable development, focusing on environmentally friendly materials, low-carbon production processes, and circular economy models, attracting more than 200 pet product enterprises around the world to apply. The award is jointly evaluated by the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) and the Antwerp Management School, with core evaluation indicators covering the full-life-cycle environmental performance of products, including the proportion of recycled materials, production carbon footprint, recyclable design, and environmental compliance. A number of Chinese cage manufacturers have been shortlisted with innovative green products, including a foldable pet cage made of recycled aluminum alloy with water-based environmentally friendly coating, which uses 85% recycled materials, reduces energy consumption by 30% compared with traditional processes, and can achieve 100% material recycling, winning high recognition from the jury. It is reported that the EU will officially implement the "Directive on Empowering Consumers and Promoting Green Transformation" in September 2026, prohibiting unfounded "environmental protection" claims and forcing enterprises to upgrade their green supply chains. Industry data shows that 62% of European and American pet owners are willing to pay a 15%-20% premium for environmentally friendly pet products, and sustainable development has transformed from a marketing gimmick to a survival necessity for enterprises.
