Eco Statement

At BILLBO UK LTD we recognise that there is a need and change toward the supply of more environmentally friendly products.

As a niche supplier to the marketplace this can be a little more challenging, but with the help of the BPMA StepForward pledge Billbo have overcome these challenges to create and offer a wide range of recycled, sustainable and recyclable range of products within our manufacturing process.

Recycled Bugs

How do we make a bug more environmentally friendly and popular?

  • The yarn/material for the Bugs we use is all now manufactured from waste textiles and other materials and is dyed using natural colours.
  • The feet for our Bugs are supplied using recycled paper, cotton and synthetic resins thus creating a fully recycled material to manufacture our S/A feet & bases on our Bugs.
  • All our eyes are produced using recycled plastics.
  • Printed tags are only 25% made from recycled materials due to the non-tear nature of the product however we can supply a fully recycled printed satin ribbon printed 1 or 2 colours.
  • Card parts for all our bugs are produced using FSC controlled recycled materials. The FSC provides assurance that all the wood or paper in a product has been verified as genuinely reclaimed or recycled.

Recycled Bears

Our new Jasper Bear range carries the Intertek Global Recycled Standard 4.0 certification for all the materials that make up this lovely plush bear. This covers all aspects of the bear from the outer fabric, stitching and filling. The plastic eyes are also recycled and made using recycled plastic PET materials.

Recycled Bookmarks

All Bookmarks produced using FSC controlled recycled materials. The FSC provides assurance that all the wood or paper in a product has been verified as genuinely reclaimed or recycled.

Recycled Ribbon

All our ribbon is supplied using local UK only suppliers and is now a standard recycled polyester ribbon available in many colours manufactured from mechanically recycled polyester from PET post-consumer water bottles.

Foam

All our Foam products use a cross-linked Polyethylene/EVA Foam. This foam does not contain SVHC on the candidate list substance or other substance listed under REACH part 57. This product is not recycled but our waste is ground down/fed to the production of other recycled foams.
