Engineered from raw mineral extraction to shelf-ready retail units. Select a formulation below for bulk containerized delivery to Dublin Port, Cork, or Shannon Foynes.
Ireland’s pet products industry is undergoing a structural transition driven by shifting urban demographic density, heightened consumer sensitivity to indoor hygiene, and post-Brexit supply chain realignments. As a premier white calcium bentonite manufacturer operating vertically integrated reserves in Fatsa, Ordu (Türkiye), we provide Irish pet supply wholesalers, commercial brand owners, and supermarket retail buyers with a direct, origin-guaranteed mineral alternative that eliminates traditional third-party trading markups.
Post-Brexit customs barriers and administrative surcharges have rendered transit via UK landroutes inefficient for Irish importers. Direct maritime shipping from Turkish Black Sea ports into Dublin, Cork, and Shannon Foynes offers tax-free raw mineral movement under the EU-Turkey Customs Union Decision 1/95, establishing absolute cost security for bulk buyers.
Ireland’s humid temperate maritime climate presents distinct challenges for indoor pet management. Damp ambient conditions exacerbate litter odor decay. Our high-montmorillonite white bentonite absorbs liquid rapidly at a molecular level, preventing bottom-tray sticking and locking in volatile ammonia before humidity amplifies scent dispersion.
Irish retailers operating under REPAK environmental compliance guidelines demand sustainable, non-toxic, chemically inert substrates. Our white calcium bentonite is 100% natural, sun-dried, free from chemical synthetic adhesives, and packed in 100% recyclable mono-PE or biodegradable woven bags tailored to national eco-tax rules.
Not all bentonites are created equal. The Fatsa reserve in Ordu, Türkiye, possesses one of the world's highest-purity reserves of white calcium bentonite. Rich in active Montmorillonite (>85%), this mineral structure provides rapid swelling dynamics upon contact with liquid, forming solid, zero-crumble agglomerations that are effortless to scoop.

Grocery networks such as SuperValu, Dunnes Stores, and regional cooperatives require shelf-ready, barcode-certified 5L and 10L handle bags. Our automated high-speed bagging lines support high volume private label demands with standardized pallet stacking engineered for high-bay warehouse logistics.
Premium pet outlets (e.g., Pet Stop, Petmania, independent veterinary clinics) demand technical grade, low-dust, hypo-allergenic formulations. We export specialized fine-grain (0.5–1.2mm) micro-bentonite with optional activated carbon or Marseille Soap scent infusions that command high retail margins.
For Irish distributors operating local automated bagging equipment, we ship bulk material in 1,000 kg – 1,250 kg UV-stabilized Big Bags (FIBC) with discharge spouts. Every bulk lot comes with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA) validating moisture and sieve sizing.
From initial sample formulation to rotogravure printing of consumer packaging, our enterprise OEM/ODM platform enables Irish brands to launch market-ready pet litter lines without capital expenditure in processing infrastructure.
Choose from three distinct sieve fractions calibrated to your brand's market positioning: 0.5-1.5mm Fine (Ultra-fast surface clumping), 1.0-3.0mm Standard (Balanced consumption rate), or 2.0-5.0mm Coarse (Zero paw-tracking for long-haired breeds).
Enhance value perception with micro-encapsulated scents designed for gradual release upon wetting: Lavender, Baby Powder, Marseille Soap, Vanilla, Lemon, or functional additive blends including Activated Charcoal Particles for heavy-duty multi-cat households.
We produce high-barrier PE plastic bags with side gussets, soft-touch carrying handles, plastic buckets with tamper-evident seals, and recyclable paper boxes from 5 Litres (approx. 4.2kg) up to 20 Litres, fully aligned with Irish EAN-13 barcode systems.
Our extraction plant in Fatsa, Ordu is strategically linked to Black Sea maritime export terminals. Containerized shipments (20ft and 40ft High Cube FCL) are dispatched seamlessly directly to major Irish maritime hubs.
| Container Type | Packaging Format | Payload Net Weight | Palletization Spec | Average Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20' Dry Van Container | 5L / 10L Bags (Boxed/Palletized) | Approx. 21.5 - 22.5 Tons | 10-11 Standard Euro Pallets | 12 - 16 Days (Direct Feeder) |
| 40' High Cube FCL | 5L / 10L Bags (Palletized & Wrapped) | Approx. 26.5 - 27.5 Tons | 24 Standard Euro Pallets | 14 - 18 Days (Hub Routing) |
| 20' Bulk FCL | 1,000kg Big Bags (FIBC) | Approx. 22.0 Tons | Floor Loaded / Palletized Base | 12 - 16 Days (Direct Feeder) |
Everything you need to know regarding order placement, customs clearance, sample evaluation, and production capabilities.
Under the EU-Türkiye Customs Union agreement, raw processed mineral products enter Ireland duty-free. Every commercial container dispatch is supplied with an ATR Movement Certificate, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading (B/L), Phytosanitary/Non-Contamination Declaration, and technical SDS (Safety Data Sheet) to ensure instant, automated clearance through Irish Customs at Dublin Port or Cork.
White calcium bentonite has a naturally clean aesthetic that consumers associate with personal care hygiene. Unlike heavy grey sodium bentonite, white calcium clay leaves minimal dark track marks on home flooring and exhibits a higher Montmorillonite mineral purity that prevents rapid bottom-of-tray sludge build-up during extended indoor use.
For customized printed artwork bags (using high-definition 8-color rotogravure printing), our standard baseline MOQ starts at one 20ft Full Container Load (FCL), equivalent to approximately 4,200 to 4,500 bags of 5L capacity. For established retail brands requiring multi-SKU runs (e.g., Unscented + Baby Powder), we can combine multiple scent formulations within a single container loading schedule.
Our Fatsa manufacturing complex incorporates a multi-stage closed-circuit processing line. After rotary drying and mechanical crushing, granules pass through a series of vibrating mesh screens coupled with high-velocity pneumatic suction dust extractors. This triple de-dusting process eliminates micro-particulates before automatic volumetric packaging, safeguarding cat and owner respiratory health.
Yes. We regularly ship physical 1kg sample evaluation kits to prospective Irish buyers via courier (DHL/FedEx). Sample packs include customized granule fractions (Fine, Classic, Coarse) alongside scent swatches (Baby Powder, Lavender, Activated Carbon) so your technical QC team can test water absorption rates, clump cohesion, and dust levels in-house.
We offer flexible Incoterms tailored to your logistical preferences: FOB (Ambarlı / Samsun / Gebze ports, Türkiye), CFR (Cost and Freight to Dublin Port or Cork Port), and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight). For qualified enterprise partners, we can also coordinate DAP (Delivered at Place) direct to your central logistics depot in Ireland.
Unlike trading agents or white-label brokers, MyBentonite owns and operates its mineral extraction reserves in Fatsa, Ordu (Türkiye). Established in 2012, our integrated mining and manufacturing infrastructure guarantees total supply continuity, rigorous batch-to-batch quality control, and direct factory pricing.
Every extraction bench is tested before processing. Our laboratory monitors moisture percentage (maintained below 8-10%), swelling capacity, bulk density, sieve gradation integrity, and microbiological purity for every export lot.
Our processing facility operates under strict adherence to ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standards, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Protocols, and REACH compliance declarations for European pet safety standards.
In addition to bespoke private label OEM contracts, we produce four established international retail lines—Catbravo, Naturesand, Catflix, and Northland—currently distributed across 35+ global markets.
