How a plastic bottle became a soft toy!

Nowadays everyone recycles their plastic bottles either into bags or bins supplied by councils. Yet not many of us wonder what happens next. Well I can now reveal that some of those bottles are now toys!

I make our toys from fleece, not that seen on sheep, but polar fleece which is a soft vegan synthetic fabric. Created in 1979 the fabric was designed to surpass wool and in some ways it at least holds its own.


Not sure where the plastic bottles come in? Well, the fleece is made from PET recycled plastic bottles, making it soft and cuddly and easy to wash. So the outside of our toys are made from plastic bottles but what about the stuffing? Well that too is recycled from plastic so not only are our toys soft and cuddly but by buying them you can help save the planet!
