First, the water bottles are shredded, cleaned, sanitized and melted. Then the fibers are spun into an ultra-soft fabric yarn. The fabric, fiber fill and sewing thread are made from this repurposed material. You will not believe how soft and cuddly these stuffed animals are knowing they started as a water bottle. The embroidered eyes and nose are made from the recycled thread, which also makes them baby safe. In addition, we use recycled paper hangtags printed with soy ink and cotton string instead of plastic cord. Wild Republic has taken it one step further by using a biodegradable shipping bag.
