Sustainable Plushies 101: What Makes a Toy Truly Eco-Friendly?

Hook: Ever hugged a plush toy and wondered—what is it actually made of?

Imagine a world where your favorite childhood plushies weren’t just soft, but also good for the planet. Many traditional stuffed toys are made from polyester, a petroleum-based fabric that contributes to plastic pollution. But now, eco-conscious brands like Forest Cuddles are leading a plush revolution.

What to Look for in a Sustainable Plush:
✅ Organic Cotton – Grown without harmful pesticides, safe for sensitive skin.
✅ Recycled Fillings – Made from repurposed plastic bottles or plant-based fibers.
✅ Ethical Manufacturing – Fair wages, responsible labor, and low-waste production.
