Recycled-paper litter, made by BPV Environmental. Graded from the 1 product of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Not enough to grade: we hold 1 panel of theirs, its FAQ's answer to "What are ALL of the ingredients in this litter?" The C grade takes 5 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.
