Pacific Bioenergy Gives Humanely

Jul 18, 2018 | 4:33 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Humane Society and Pacific Bioenergy have joined forces. Strange bedfellows, you think? Oddly, no. 

The Humane Society buys, on average, ten bags of cat litter a week to use in its animal shelter and it recently approached Pacific Bioenergy with an idea: Use pellets in place of litter. It is more environmentally-friendly to dispose of and it cuts down the odour more than litter.

“We approached them with a solution to our problem as well as building a long-lasting relationship. They were on board,” says Angela McLaren, Executive Director for the Humane Society. “So it was very, very exciting that we could save the cost, we can also contribute to the environment and the animals can get the best possible conditions in the shelter.”

For Pacific BioEnergy, it as a no-brainer.

“When we heard about an opportunity to donate to the Humane Society, to provide products for the cats, we were all in,” says Shawn Bell, Vice President of Operations. However, he’s is quick to add this is not a new venture for the company, which ships 90% of its product to Europe.
