The KeelEco range is made from 100% recycled materials: Recycled polyester (rPET) for the outer and the stuffing - made by melting used plastic drinks bottles spinning into new polyester. A 30cm toy uses up to 16 x 500ml old drinks bottles! Recycled glass beads for weights Even the label is made from recycled materials!

We searched for 2 years for sustainable-materials soft toys made in Europe?and found just 1 UK producer of unaffordable teddies. There are lots of European soft toy companies but because, like clothing, soft toys are labour-intensive to make, they've all moved production to lower-cost countries.
