Sustainability + Giving Back
Shore Buddies
The new Shore Buddies plush collection is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! It takes six plastic bottles to make one 12″ stuffed animal.
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.
The best of all, the adorable plush collection 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!
The company is also dedicated to giving back, and $1 from each purchase is given to charities that support Marine life.
