Cardboard Cat Scratcher: Eco-Friendly Alternative Without the Premium Price Tag — Side Income
📌 About the model

This business involves manufacturing and selling corrugated cardboard cat scratchers. Products are sold via your own online store, marketplaces such as Etsy or Amazon UK, or through local independent pet shops. Success depends on using quality double-wall corrugated board, obtaining eco certification, and clearly communicating the product's environmental credentials. Production is accessible without industrial equipment, but mastering quality control and standing out from cheap imported alternatives requires preparation.

Most sisal scratchers fall apart within weeks or end up gathering dust in the corner — yet they cost as much as a decent piece of furniture. Cat owners are forced to choose between overpriced options and low-quality supermarket replacements.
