Why Use Green Mann Bedding?
Green Mann Bedding is 100% recycled, dust free corrugated cardboard that is processed into bedding. It is an innovative and simply amazing product that is cost effective and simple to use.
Additionally, it is an environmentally friendly and healthier alternative to the traditional wood shavings and straw commonly used for animals to sleep and nest. The corrugation also provides outstanding thermal insulation qualities enabling animals to keep warm and dry.
Hygenic and kind
Corrugated cardboard is becoming a more popular choice of bedding for horses. It is healthy, clean bedding - free from seeds, fungal spores and toxins, reducing the chance of infections and secondary infections after surgery.
It is recommended by veterinary practices for horses with respiratory problems (heaves) making it ideal for Asthma and allergy sufferers or horses with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Reduce, reuse and recycle!
Green Mann Bedding is made from perfectly clean, 100% recycled, quality corrugated cardboard that is processed by a full air flow breaker, dust extractor system. This system removes the dust, shreds and bags the cardboard under high air pressure into 20kg bales. When managed correctly, corrugated cardboard can be more economical to use than many other traditional bedding materials.
Supporting local businesses and promoting the responsible disposal of waste. It is more important than ever to reduce, reuse and recycle; Green Mann Bedding follows these important eco recommendations by being completely bio-degradable.
The used material can be applied direct to land and gardens as an excellent soil fertilizer and compost. It can also be utilized (unused) as effective packaging filler, an environmentally friendly alternative to polystyrene chips.
