Reuse is queen! So we’re helping you fix your toys (and bikes, chairs, glasses, zips, mugs, and everything else) with this new product: FixIts!

- Remoldable – just pop back into freshly-boiled water!
- Compostable (in your home organic waste bin)!

Feel great about where it comes from
- Raw materials from Europe? tbc
- Organic? No
- Manufactured in Europe? Yes – UK
- What’s it made from? Bioplastic – an innovative, carbon-neutral material made from plants, making it carbon-neutral because plants absorb carbon as they grow – whereas petroleum-based plastic has a carbon footprint of up to 6 times its own weight in CO2.
- What’s it packaged in? Sustainability-certified* card sleeve that is sealed with a cellulose sticker that is biodegradable. It folds out to reveal instructions on how to use the sticks.
- Shipping packaging from manufacturer to us: Cardboard only
- Plastic-free? 100% free of petroleum-derived plastic. Made of bioplastic (from plants)
- Vegan? Yes
- Animal-cruelty-free? Yes

* We’re not allowed mention which certificate because of bizarre bureaucracy, for details search our site for ‘Not allowed to say FSC’.
Feel great about where it goes after you’ve used it

Feel great about you and your child using it
