Feel great about where it comes from
Raw materials from Europe? tbc
Organic? No

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.

Plastic-free? 100% free of petroleum-derived plastic. Made of bioplastic (from plants)

Feel great about where it goes after you've used it
Biodegradable / compostable? Yes - industrially compostable (organic / food waste bin) if / when you ever finish with it
Reusable / refillable? Yes - can be remolded as often as you like
Recyclable? Not sure - tbc
Feel great about you and your child using it
Great for ages: Molding it involves hot water so only for people able to manage that safely. Once molded, it's safe for all ages but I wouldn't chew on it, and remember any small item presents a choking hazard to a young child

Awards: N/A
Safety standards met: EU safety standards
Solvent-free? Yes
Gluten-free? Yes
Peanut-free? Yes
