EcoGrain 100% Natural Environmentally Friendly Cat Litter - 30l, clear

Product Information

Eco-friendly litter removes these artificial ingredients in favor of natural odor control, such as pine or lavender. The litter also controls odors before they start by absorbing liquid on contact, which prevents enzymes from binding with liquid and waste and fosters a fresh smelling litter box.

This Scoop Health litter features special color-changing technology designed to detect pH irregularities and identify urine health problems. We tested 19 eco-friendly cat litter products from a variety of brands to evaluate odor masking, dust production, tracking, clumping, liquid absorption, ease of use, and—most importantly—whether or not our cats and kittens liked it. Many eco-friendly cat litter products are plant-based and made with one of these starches: corn, wheat, paper, wood, or soybean.The process commonly used—strip mining—involves the removal of all trees, plants, and topsoil which then results in erosion into nearby waterways. Shuffle the pellets with a scoop, then lift and shake the sifting tray to ensure that all sawdust has fallen to the bottom tray, leaving only clean pellets up top. We found it necessary to scoop each clump more than once because they tend to fall apart, but there was no detectable stench. Sustainability messaging is added to all product packaging to increase awareness of pet sustainability and recycling options.

I use an old sponge (which I keep aside ONLY for the litter box) to scrub all parts of the box, rinse it out, dry with a rag and leave it out on the balcony to finish drying completely. Eco-friendly cat litter bags were another consideration and aside from some recyclable bags, overall improvement is still needed here. To earn the top overall spot, the litter must be absorbent, available, reasonably affordable, sustainably produced, and capable of preventing odors. Tofu and walnut shell cat litter are both produced using byproducts of the food industry, and they are both biodegradable.

There are some cat litter products that can be flushed, such as Tuft and Paw Really Great Cat Litter and sWheat Scoop Multi-Cat Natural Clumping Litter. We also tested Ökocat's Super Soft version because its texture may appeal to some cats, particularly those who may have certain injuries or health issues.

I’ve always had at least one cat at a time since I was little, but most of the time they were outside and didn’t really use much cat litter. While sWheat does use plastic packaging, they have an ongoing partnership with Plastic Bank, an initiative that helps keep plastic out of oceans and builds up local communities. For fully plant-based cat litter, Pet Sustainability Coalition member ökocat offers recycled wood fiber litter that’s free from fragrances, dyes, and added chemicals.

Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe I just got a bad batch but wish the marketing of pet products would start living up to what they say it is. Made from natural starches, this pellet-shaped litter clumps together with liquid and contains enzymes that control odor-causing bacteria. Unlike other clay litters, this litter has no dyes, perfumes, dust, or other potentially harmful ingredients.

Several reviewers mentioned that the litter has a strong, unpleasant odor and tracks easily, however.

The dust generated during cleaning or use by your cat can get deep into the lungs and may be difficult to expel, causing respiratory problems and in rare cases, lung cancer.This natural litter absorbs odors, so it can be used in a litter box that services more than one cat, and has a kickable consistency most cats are familiar with. For several months, testers evaluated their designated cat litter taking note of the manufacturer's claims on features such as odor absorption, clumping, no dust, and low tracking. The pieces are on the large size and tend to stick to cats’ paws and get tracked around the house much less than most other cat litters.
