8-inch EcoKins Mini Polar Bear Stuffed Animal for Kids: A Sustainable Plush Toy Made from 7 Recycled Bottles

Wild Republic's commitment to the planet is embodied in the creation of Ecokins plush toys, crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled PET water bottles and paper, thereby conserving energy and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. By diverting millions of single-use water bottles away from landfills each day, we strive to mitigate plastic waste's detrimental impact on our surroundings.

The transformation of these bottles into adorable Ecokins stuffed animals begins with a meticulous process: shredded, cleaned, sanitized, and melted, the plastic is reshaped into an ultra-soft fabric yarn. This recycled material further serves as the foundation for the fabric, stuffing, and sewing thread used in the production. The fact that these cuddly creatures originated from discarded water bottles is almost unbelievable, adding a unique eco-friendly touch.

The embroidered eyes and nose, made from recycled thread, not only enhance their appeal but also ensure they are baby-safe. To further reduce environmental impact, we utilize recycled paper hangtags printed with soy ink and cotton string instead of plastic cords. The Ecokins 8" Polar Bear, for instance, is composed of 7 recycled water bottles, setting it apart as the only plush toy on the market made entirely from post-consumer materials.

Our mission at Wild Republic is twofold: to provide educational and sustainable toys that inspire children's curiosity about wildlife and nature. Our toy line, including the EcoKins 8" sustainable toys, is crafted entirely from recycled components, from fabric to packaging.

Educational value is at the core of our offerings, as they encourage conservation and environmental awareness among boys and girls through their favorite cuddly companions. Their bead-free design, coupled with embroidered features, makes EcoKins ideal for toddlers and baby gifts, ensuring a safe play experience.

Perfect for baby showers, birthdays, holidays, home decor, and themed events, these toys serve as thoughtful and environmentally responsible choices. Rest assured, our products surpass stringent toy safety standards worldwide, as certified by CPSIA (USA) and EN71 (EU), guaranteeing both environmental friendliness and child safety.
