BiOBUDDi Bioplastic Pixel and Create Starter Kit - 1500 pieces - LIBRARY, TO BORROW
€0.00
Jiminy
Pixel blocks made locally in Europe? Without plastic or any petroleum, just plants!?! Yes! That's BiOBUDDi!
These new BiOBUDDi Pixel and Create sets let you get reusably-creative in 2D and 3D!
What each set contains: 1500 pixel blocks, a remover, 8 different example cards, 4 construction plates, 4 coupling pieces, manual.
Feel great about where it comes from:
Raw materials from Europe? No - Brazil - we are not thrilled about this because it's far away (transport carbon emissions). But we do have assurance that no rainforest was removed to create the sugarcane fields:
The sugarcane is grown in a different region of Brazil far from the Amazon rainforest
The Brazilian government doesn't allow new sugarcane plantations because they feel the country has enough
Organic? Yes >70% of the sugarcane is organically-grown
Manufactured in Europe? Yes - Netherlands
What's it made from? Bioplastic (specifically Green PE) - an innovative, carbon-neutral material made from the leftovers after sugarcane is harvested. It's carbon-neutral because plants absorb carbon as they grow - whereas petroleum-based plastic has a carbon footprint of up to 6 times its own weight in CO2. Bioplastic is fully recyclable at end of life along with petro-plastics. Think of it as FairTrade coffee - looks the same, tastes the same, but has a very different impact on the world because of how it's produced.
What's it packaged in? FSC cardboard box, bioplastic bag (also made from sugarcane, recyclable including in Ireland)
Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only
Plastic-free? 100% free from petroleum-derived plastic - made from bioplastic, see above for the difference
Vegan? Yes!
Animal-cruelty-free? Yes
Reused upcycled or recycled? No
Feel great about where it goes after you've used it:
Biodegradable / compostable? Not biodegradable (but still really good for our planet because it's made from plants (not petroleum), can be used for generations and then recycled
Reusable refillable? Yes
Recyclable? Yes 100%
Feel great about you and your child using it:
Great for ages: 3+ - warning: contains small parts which are a hazard to younger children
Shelf life: Indefinite
Awards: DIN CERTCO certificate of bio-based materials
Safety standards met: EN71 EU toy safety standards
Solvent-free? Yes
Gluten-free? Yes
Peanut-free? Yes
Soy-free? Yes
Lactose-free? Yes
Easy to wash-off clothes skin? N/A
Improvements we're working on in this product: We wish the bags were home-compostable, we're discussing with BiOBUDDi.
