(PRESS RELEASE) PITTSBURG, CA — Petsport, a leader in durable and interactive pet toys for over 30 years, announced its official membership in the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC). This partnership marks a significant milestone in Petsport’s long-standing commitment to providing safe, high-quality products for pets and their owners worldwide.
As part of this commitment to environmental stewardship, Petsport is spearheading a transition away from single-use button cell batteries toward modern, USB-C rechargeable technology across its electronics line.
By joining the PSC, Petsport joins a global community of over 200 pet industry leaders dedicated to collaborative solutions for environmental and social impact. This partnership accelerates Petsport’s mission to reduce the hundreds of millions of disposable batteries that end up in landfills annually.
“Our transition to USB-C charging for our most popular light-based products is a game-changer for both the environment and pet parents,” said a spokesperson for Petsport. “By eliminating the need for button cell batteries, we are providing a safer, more convenient, and more sustainable way for pets to stay active and visible.”
Key sustainable product highlights include:
- USB-C Rechargeable Laser Chase: The original Laser Chase has been re-engineered for the modern era. The new Laser Chase and Laser Chase Robot feature built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to 5 hours of continuous play and recharges in just 30 minutes, removing the need for frequent battery replacements.
- Bling Bling Blinkers (Rechargeable): The newly designed Bling Bling Blinker is now fully USB-C rechargeable. This essential safety device offers 10 color modes and a 12-hour run time on a single 1.5-hour charge, ensuring pets remain visible for up to half a mile without the environmental cost of disposable cells.
- Safety First: Beyond environmental benefits, the move to rechargeable batteries aligns with Reese’s Law, significantly reducing the risk of accidental battery ingestion for pets and children.
