"Cuddles Without the Carbon: The Rise of Eco-Friendly Soft Toys"

🧸 Why Most Soft Toys Aren’t as Cuddly for the Planet – and Why Keel Eco Is Changing That

When you think of a soft toy, you probably imagine comfort, childhood memories, and something sweet to cuddle. But what most people don’t realise is that traditional soft toys often come with a hidden environmental cost.

The Hidden Impact of Traditional Soft Toys

Most soft toys on the market today are made from polyester — a plastic-based fabric derived from petroleum. While soft and durable, polyester is non-biodegradable, meaning that once a toy is discarded, it can linger in landfill for hundreds of years.

And it’s not just the fabric. The stuffing, packaging, dyes, and production methods often involve:
🚫 Fossil fuels
🚫 Chemical-heavy processes
🚫 Non-recyclable materials

The result? A product that, while comforting to hug, isn’t so kind to the environment.

Enter Keel Eco: A Softer, Greener Alternative 🌍💚

Thankfully, not all soft toys are created equal. Keel Eco is setting a new standard for what sustainable cuddly toys can be.

Here’s what makes Keel Eco different:

✅ 100% Recycled Materials – Each Keel Eco toy is made from recycled PET plastic bottles, including both the outer plush and inner stuffing.

✅ High-Quality & Super Soft – Sustainability doesn’t mean compromise. These toys are just as soft, cuddly, and durable as their traditional counterparts.

✅ Plastic-Free Tags & Packaging – Every detail, right down to the swing tags, is thoughtfully designed to minimise waste.

✅ Ethically Made – Keel Toys is committed to responsible sourcing and ethical manufacturing practices.
