About the toy: A perfect set for beach, garden, or mud kitchen! Long-lasting without the carbon footprint - made from plants, not petroleum.

They are durable won't dissolve in rain or seawater :-) Feel great about where it comes from: Raw materials from Europe? No :-( - Brazil Organic? TBC Manufactured in Europe? Yes - Denmark 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; Fillers like Calcium Stearate (an edible salt); Colourants (these are petroleum-derived and 1.0-1.5% of the material).
