01/FAQ
Perguntas comuns.
What dust level should I require for my market? +
Mass market: ≤ 2% is acceptable. Premium retail: ≤ 1%. Eco / EU: ≤ 0.5% (plant-based).
O que é a good clumping strength for retail? +
≥ 8N for premium retail. ≥ 5N for value-tier. Plant-based litters typically clump at 3N+.
Are there country-specific quality requirements? +
Yes — EU requires REACH and CE compliance. US requires FDA registration. Japan has strict labelling requirements. Australia has ACCC packaging rules.
