Western Pulp is proud to offer Rancher’s Preferred, a groundbreaking line of molded fiber biodegradable supplement tubs designed specifically for companies that manufacture livestock supplements. Our edible tubs provide an eco-friendly packaging solution that enhances your product offerings and aligns with the growing demand for sustainable practices in the livestock industry.

Why Choose Rancher’s Preferred?

Rancher’s Preferred biodegradable tubs are made from 100% pre-consumer Kraft corrugated paper, eliminating waste and removing the need for plastic or metal containers. This innovative packaging solution allows supplement manufacturers to offer a product that supports both environmental stewardship and operational efficiency.

A Perfect Fit for Supplement Manufacturers

Rancher’s Preferred tubs are engineered to meet the needs of manufacturers who want to offer their customers a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic tubs. Our molded fiber (molded pulp) tubs are available in both 200 and 250lb sizes offering your customers a convenient, environmentally friendly option. Additional sizes are available.  

Key Advantages of Rancher’s Preferred for Supplement Manufacturers:

• Eco-Friendly: Rancher’s Preferred tubs are made from biodegradable materials, reducing waste and environmental impact. These tubs eliminate the need for plastic containers, providing a sustainable packaging solution for your supplement products.

• Convenient and Timesaving: Rancher’s Preferred tubs offer ranchers a "set it and forget it" solution. There’s no need to collect and dispose of empty containers, saving ranchers valuable time and labor. This convenience increases the appeal of your products and helps you stand out in a competitive market.

• Durable: Rancher’s Preferred biodegradable tubs are designed for optimal performance. They maintain their structure and consistency in outdoor environments, ensuring that the product is delivered as expected. While best suited for dry conditions, they can withstand normal precipitation and moderate wet conditions. For the best results, we recommend avoiding placing tubs in standing water or heavily saturated areas.

• Cost-Effective and Sustainable: By switching to Rancher’s Preferred, manufacturers can reduce waste disposal costs and offer a product that requires no additional handling after placement. The sustainable aspect of these tubs can also attract environmentally conscious customers and enhance your brand’s reputation as an eco-friendly supplier.

Biodegradable Tubs vs. Plastic Tubs: Why Rancher’s Preferred is Better

Unlike plastic containers, which contribute to landfill waste and require ranchers to handle empty tubs, Rancher’s Preferred biodegradable tubs offer a sustainable alternative. The fiber-based construction naturally decomposes in the field, leaving no plastic waste behind. This not only benefits the environment but also saves ranchers the hassle of container collection and disposal.

Designed for a Range of Conditions

Rancher’s Preferred biodegradable tubs are intended for use in dry or moderately wet conditions. These containers are ideal for hard-to-reach areas such as large pastures, forested land, or mountainous terrain where retrieval of empty containers is difficult or impractical. The single-trip nature of these tubs is particularly advantageous in remote grazing areas, where labor-saving solutions are critical.
