Re-finish the scuffed toe, or separating heel of your shoes. Fix a tear in your wellies.  or even a hole in the sole of your trainers. Stick anything to the wall without drilling. Personalise a backpack or a stapler. Heat-insulate a pot or mug handle (yes, it will withstand dishwasher-ing). Fill cracks in your dishwasher. Sugru dries flexible so also great for wires and things that must bend. It's non-toxic but not tested for food contact so fix anything else but not lunchboxes :-). What it contains: Individually packed Sugru mouldable glue sachets, each 3g Feel great about where it comes from: Raw materials from Europe? It's made from chemicals so I doubt it Organic? No Manufactured in Europe? No - UK What's it made from? 25-50% silicone (polysiloxane), 25–50% talc, methyltris(methylethylketoxime)silane and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane What's it packaged in? Individual sachets and cardboard box. For Sugru to stay fresh and usable, it needs a sachet made of a sophisticated laminate of aluminium and petroleum-based plastic, making the sachets not-recyclable. We stock it anyway because it's so helpful in keeping much bigger, useful objects in use (and out of the bin). Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only Plastic-free? No - you could argue Sugru is itself a plastic, being made of petroleum-derived chemicals and not being biodegradable. We stock it because it's so helpful in keeping useful items in use, but tell us if you think this is the wrong choice! Vegan? Not yet - they want it to be and are working on it Free from testing on animals? Yes Reused upcycled or recycled? No Feel great about where it goes after you've used it: Biodegradable / compostable? No. sugru is made to last. We believe it is good for the environment because it is durable and helps you keep your things for longer instead of throwing them away Reusable / refillable? No Recyclable? Cardboard box - yes; rest - no Feel great about you and your child using it: Great for ages: Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts—choking hazard, and not recommended for eating! Probably most easily used by adults but I'm sure kids over age 5 could fix, or help fix, things with it. Shelf life: At room temperature, 13 months from when it's manufactured. Keep it in fridge or freezer to triple this to 36 months. Awards: Sugru's unique, patented formula has earned it dozens of awards including the European Inventor Award 2018 and global scientific recognition Safety standards met: European safety standards including toy safety standards. CE-marked Solvent-free? Don't think so! Gluten-free? Yes Peanut-free? Yes Soy-free? Yes Lactose-free? Yes Easy to wash-off clothes skin? Off skin - yes.  Off clothes, a damp cloth will remove residue unless the Sugru has been well worked into the fabric in which case it may be difficult to remove completely Improvements we're working on in this product: Honestly we're not going to lobby Sugru to change. The founder is very eco-minded and I'm sure she's only using a plastic-lined Aluminium sachet for lack of other options. Care/use instructions: Keep refrigerated for longer use. Once a sachet is open it will dry-out so find creative ways to use it all up! Search terms: putty
