Reusable Cat Litter - Save 20% on EnviroKats
Note from Michael: the following information was provided by the merchant. Attention green businesses, do you have a special coupon or discount offer you'd like showcased on Green Living Tips? Learn more here.
  
While at the grocery store you realize that you are out of cat litter. As you approach the pet aisle you consider the alternative litters that are available. “Do I get the cheap stuff? I know it’s the kind of litter that is produced by strip mining, which really is hard on the environment. And while I like the clumping ability I really am not sure if that is good for my cats. I’ve heard of the biodegradable brands that have come out - will that be a better alternative?"
 
Unfortunately, not really. No matter what litter you buy, you're going to end up dumping the litter into a plastic bag because of the awful smell - and that certainly isn’t going anywhere when it ends up at the landfill.
   
It's estimated that up to 8 billion pounds of cat litter wind up in U.S. landfills each year. You could line up semi's halfway across the country every year full of discarded cat litter - that's how huge issue this is!
  
What if there was a litter that could be reused over and over? Wouldn’t that help the problem? And wouldn’t that save money on continually purchasing cat litter?
 
  

Introducing EnviroKats - the first entirely reusable cat litter! What that means to you is no more running to the store for litter and the expense involved in purchasing. No more dumping boxes, no exposure to the awful odors, and no plastic bags needed for disposal. And finally, no more needless choking of our landfills!
   
So what is EnviroKats made of so that it is able to be reused? EnviroKats litter is made from 100% discarded tires! The materials absorbs odors naturally without any additives.

The specially designed box allows the liquid waste to accumulate at the bottom of the box. When it is time to clean the box you simply gently rinse the surface area of the litter, open the drain, and release the liquids. 
  
While tires have been a necessity in our everyday lives, the disposal of used tires has remained an environmental challenge. So, remembering that convoy of semis stretching halfway across the country, we are now eliminating an equal amount of weight of tires that would go to landfills. The convoy that would have now stretched entirely across the country would be totally eliminated from our landfills. 
  
Each EnviroKats system is the equivalent to approximately 1 ¼ tires. 
  
EnviroKats coupon discount for Green Living Tips readers.

    It sounds very interesting, but how does the litter dry off after it is rinsed? It seems like it would stay damp, especially underneath.

    This is interesting. In the states, we have two flushable products that we have used with success - World's Best corn litter and Swheatscoop wheat litter. Since it is flushable, no plastic bags and trips to the landfills are necessary, but it does add a little to the strain of our already overworked wastewater treatment facilities. Interested to hear what you think about the use of these types of litter...

    Great questions!

    Lotus108--as the box is continually rinsed the bottom of the box never will completely dry. My tester has a spray bottle of bleach that, once a month, mists the top layer prior to rinsing. As the box is continually flushed out I don't know if that is necessary but she is very protective of her 6 cats--which is great!

    Steve--I have checked out those litters. While they can be flushed I'd have additonal concerns for clogging my own toilet, and if you are on a septic system that may create a problem.

    With EnivroKats, you flush the liquids only and reuse the litter, saving you additional litter expense. And of course the environmental benefits associated with the recycle/reuse theme.

    I hope these answers help. If you have additional questions feel free to email me, or email my tester of the system--her name is Kat and can be reached at Azjokats@aol.com

    Thanks!

    Is it possible to use this product for rabbits? If so, how would I dispose of their droppings?

    When using the Adaptor Kit, does it involve cutting a hole into the user's existing litter box?

    what about solid waste? wouldn't the pellets get stuck to them and eventually dwindle down? and are you supposed to flush the feces or bag and throw away as before?
     
  • Comment #6 (Posted by Leah)

    Do cats use it well? We've had occasional issues with our cat going somewhere other than her litterbox, which is generally due to her not being happy with something about the box. I would be concerned that she wouldn't be willing to use it, I'm afraid to change litters on her.

    I also have the same question as the person above. What about the solid waste?
