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 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 popular 200 and 250lb sizes, offering your customers a convenient, environmentally friendly option. Additional sizes are also 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 replace plastic containers, providing a sustainable packaging solution for your supplement products.

• Convenient and Timesaving: Rancher’s Preferred tubs are a "set it and forget it" solution. There’s no need to collect and dispose of empty containers, saving valuable time and labor.

• Durable: Rancher’s Preferred biodegradable tubs are designed for optimal performance. 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 dependance of plastics 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 collect empty tubs, Rancher’s Preferred tubs offer a sustainable alternative. The fiber-based construction naturally decomposes in the field, leaving no plastic waste behind.

 

USDA Certified 100% Biobased Product

Rancher’s Preferred tubs are made from recycled kraft paper and are compatible with regenerative ranching systems that prioritize biodegradable materials. The USDA Certified Biobased Product Label displays a product's biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. Utilizing renewable, biobased materials displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals

​

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.
