The holiday season is here. I want to tell you about the perfect gift for kids who love ocean creatures and furry stuffed animals – Shore Buddies!
There is no question that ocean plastic pollution is a growing concern, that’s why entrepreneur Malte Niebelschuetz developed Shore Buddies, an innovative plush and gift line created using only recycled plastic. To date, the company has used more than 500,000 plastic bottles to make soft, plush animals. The bottles are collected and sorted by recyclable collectors before cleaned and shredded into plastic flakes. Some of these flakes are used for the Shore Buddies‘ stuffing, others get melted and turned into polyester yarn for the soft outside. And it takes six plastic bottles to create one Shore Buddy.
To help educate our children about Marine life and the importance of recycling, Niebelschuetz recently released Shore Buddies and the Plastic Ocean Book. The story follows five friends that are giving marine life a voice in fighting ocean plastic pollution. Best of all, the company is dedicated to giving back, and $1 from each purchase is given to charities that support Marine life.
The adorable plush collection, which also provides our kids with a sense of comfort during the pandemic, features a fun array of huggable characters including Stephen Seagull, Shelly the Sea Turtle, and Finn the Dolphin. They even make authentic animal sounds when pressed too.
All products meet or exceed the requirements set by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), and $1 from every purchase is donated to an ocean-minded non-profit organization.
Shore Buddies are great for the environment and fun for kids of all ages!
