What is tofu cat litter? Why does it spread rapidly around the world?

Tofu cat litter (also known as plant-based cat litter) is mainly made of bean dregs (that is, the by-product of making tofu). This sustainable raw material is processed into granular cat litter, which has excellent water absorption and agglomeration.

In recent years, tofu cat litter has been popular in Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea. In these areas, consumers are increasingly concerned about the following aspects:

• Environmental sustainability
• Low dust home environment
• Health and safety of pets

Compared with traditional bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter provides a biodegradable alternative that can be directly flushed into the toilet, so it has become the first choice for high-end brands and environmentally conscious consumers.
