7084 Teklad Pelleted Paper Bedding is an environmentally
friendly choice in laboratory animal bedding material. It is made
primarily from pre-consumer recycled paper, mixed with some aspen
hardwood sawdust as a pelleting aid, so it is very clean, highly
absorbent, and non-toxic. Originally designed as a non-contact
bedding and cat litter, pelleted paper has been increasingly used
as a contact bedding with excellent results, particularly in
superior absorbency and odor control. It also will not plug
automated watering valves.
Unlike most other pelleted paper bedding products, which are
made up mostly of post-consumer recycled newspaper, Teklad 7084
Pelleted Paper Bedding is made from pre-consumer recycled paper,
most of which was never printed upon. This is a very important
distinction, because this product will not contain any bits of
plastic, string, staples, high ink content, or other contaminants
that can be introduced in the post-consumer recycling process.
Pre-consumer paper is also never subjected to any chemical
de-inking solvents. For the small percentage of raw material that
we use that does have printing on it, only soy ink is used. The net
result is a much safer, cleaner, and lighter colored product that
will not turn your white rodents gray!
