18cm KeelEco Cheetah - 100% recycled - MADE FAR AWAY
€10.99
Jiminy
100% Recycled, 100% Huggable! Keel Toys is a big plush toy maker; we're delighted to support its admirable move towards recycled materials.
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!
Traditional glass eyes have been replaced with cotton embroidered eyes, which give them a unique and playful character.
The iconic red Keel hanging tag is now FSC cardboard attached with cotton string.

Improvements we're working on in this product: We wish these were made in Europe? 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.
Care/use instructionsSpot clean, surface wash
