Some of our products have plastic buckles for safety, weight, or durability. We know plastic isn't fantastic, but sometimes it is still the most efficient material compared to metal. Our collar/lead fabric will never have plastic in them. We will not sell polyester or nylon that are not biodegradable. All our fibres will be plant-based. However, we sometimes can't say "no" to plastic components for the reasons below. Safety Our patent pending YYK plastic buckles can hold a weight of 700kg. If you have a giant-sized dog that pulls like a freight train, we recommend always using our plastic clips. Our metal buckles can hold 200kg, which is safe for small- and medium-sized dogs. Metal will not be able to hold a giant pulling dog. Although, in all our tests, none of the metal buckles broke. Ever. Weight Metal is too heavy for toy and very small dogs. Instead, we recommend a plastic buckle to not strain your dog's neck. Durability Our plastic buckles are very durable. Its life cycle will be longer than metal. The longer you can use a product, the better its overall carbon footprint. We consider plastic, in this case, a necessary evil. But we will also make sure that all our collars get appropriately recycled. Please check out our recycling question to find out how to recycle your plastic collar with yourself or us! If the plastic remains in circulation, it doesn't end up in the ocean or landfill.
