Key Types of EU-Compliant Flushable Litter

1️⃣ Tofu (Soybean) Litter Material: Compressed soybean residue, food-grade and non-toxic if ingested

• Pros:

  • Dissolves in water within minutes; safe for toilets when flushed in small batches (<3 clumps per flush)

  • Low dust—ideal for cats with respiratory issues

  • Available in scented (e.g., green tea) and unscented variants

• Cons: May form softer clumps prone to breaking if low-quality

• EU Brands: N1, Love Cat (prioritize 2.0mm fine-grain versions for faster dissolution)

2️⃣ Wood-Based Litter (Pellets or Fibers)

• Material: FSC-certified pine, spruce, or recycled timber; processed into pellets or granules

• Pros:

  • Naturally antimicrobial; neutralizes ammonia odors

  • Highly absorbent (holds 7x its weight in liquid) and compostable

• Cons: Pellet types require sifting boxes; sawdust residue needs frequent cleaning

• EU Brands: Cat’s Best (Germany), Tigerino (look for "toilet-safe" labels)

3️⃣ Grain & Novel Plant Litters

• Millet/Sorghum Litter: Made from surplus grains; clumps tightly and dissolves faster than tofu litter

• Bamboo or Cassava Litter: Rapidly biodegradable; popular in French/Benelux markets

• Hippophae (Sea Buckthorn) Litter: Emerging in Germany—uses acidic berries to suppress bacteria and odors
