Revolutionizing pet waste: At 1847 Stone Milling, we embarked on a mission rooted in sustainability, innovation, and genuine care for our environment. Our journey began with a simple idea: to create the highest quality, eco-conscious organic flour in Canada. With the unwavering support of the Grain Farmers of Ontario, we not only achieved this goal but also revolutionized the concept of pet waste management.

1. Redefining Pet Waste: From Wheat to Waste to Compost

We harnessed the often overlooked portion of wheat from the milling process and transformed it into something extraordinary: an absorbent, clumping, dust-free, and odour-free litter that is 100% compostable. This means your pet’s waste can go directly into your green bin or composter, reducing landfill waste and redefining how we perceive our pets’ environmental impact.

2. Eco-Certified Excellence

Our commitment to eco-conscious practices is not just a promise; it’s a certification. We are proud holders of the Organic Certification through Eco-Cert Canada for nine years running. Our products are:

  • Non-GMO
  • Free from Synthetic Pesticides or Herbicides

3. Recognitions and Grants

We are honoured to have received support from various organizations, such as:

  • Grain Farmers of Ontario – Grain Innovation Fund
  • Guelph Innovation Centre
    • I.D.E.A Fund
    • COIL
  • AgPartnership Open for e-business
  • Greenbelt Fund
  • Fanshawe College Community Consultancy Program

4. Quality Assurance

  • CFIA Certification
  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Compliance

5. Leading the Way in 2023

We are thrilled to be recognized by Natural Products Canada as one of the top businesses in 2023, a testament to our dedication to innovation and sustainability.

6. Advocates for Change

Our commitment to environmental stewardship goes beyond our products. We actively participate in initiatives such as the Grain Farmers of Ontario’s Women in Ag Conference, where we share our insights and inspire change.

7. Champions of Environmental Excellence

We are humbled to have been awarded the Environmental Excellence Award by the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce, a recognition of our ongoing efforts to leave the earth a better place for future generations.

We believe in more than just providing high-quality products; we are advocates for change, stewards of the environment, and pioneers of a greener future. Join us in reimagining pet waste, one compostable litter at a time. Let’s make our planet a healthier, happier home for all.
