Our products are designed to be as close to plastic-free as possible.
While we use a small amount of nylon thread for strength and durability, every other component has been thoughtfully chosen to reduce plastic use and minimise environmental impact.

Our materials include:

• 100% Organic Cotton - soft, strong and grown without harmful chemicals.
• Natural Bamboo Webbing - flexible, durable and made without synthetic fibres.
• Eco-Friendly Water-Resistant Coatings - protecting your dog’s accessories while staying kind to the planet.
• All-Metal Hardware - no plastic clips or buckles, only durable, long-lasting metal components.

We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that every detail reflects our commitment to quality, responsibility, and sustainability.

Together with our manufacturing partners, we’ve developed an eco-friendly assembly method that removes the need for hidden glues - ensuring our collars, leads and harnesses are completely free from concealed plastics.

Rather than keeping this innovation to ourselves, we chose not to sign a non-compete agreement. We want other brands to benefit too. Because real change happens when good ideas are shared.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our products.
All of our packaging is sourced within the UK and our shipping boxes are made from materials containing at 60 - 80% recycled content. They’re fully recyclable and biodegradable - so you can feel confident that every Knala order is delivered with care for you, your dog and the planet.

We choose to manufacture in China because it allows us to work with highly specialised factories that meet our strict standards for quality and sustainability. Finding equivalent expertise elsewhere - particularly for eco-friendly pet accessories - is a significant challenge and many local suppliers still outsource overseas at a higher cost.

While China’s environmental reputation has been mixed historically, many manufacturers today operate under strict regulations on material production, waste management and workplace standards. We work only with partners who meet these requirements and who share our values.

We also reduce our carbon footprint by partnering with couriers that offer low-emission delivery options and by sourcing all of our packaging within the UK.

For us, the right partners are the ones who uphold our standards - wherever they’re based.
