We love these sustainable toys but we can't compete on price against Smyths so recommend you buy them there - see here. It's great that a mainstream retailer is stocking bioplastic toys and one day their entire store will be sustainable - meanwhile we'll be here stocking the things they don't yet, and sending you their way once they add them :-) What it contains 7 bioplastic stacking cups in a cardboard box   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). What's it packaged in? Cardboard only Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only Plastic-free? 100% free from petroleum-derived plastic - made from bioplastic, see above for the difference. Does contain about 1.5% petroleum-derived colourants Vegan? Yes Animal-cruelty-free? Yes Reused upcycled or recycled? No   Feel great about where it goes after you've used it Biodegradable compostable?No (but it has a tiny carbon footprint compared to petro-plastic toys) Reusable refillable? N/A Recyclable? Yes 100%   Feel great about you and your child using it Great for ages: 6 months and up Shelf life: Indefinite Awards: TBC Safety standards met: European Toy Safety Standards (CE-marked) 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: None, very happy with it!
