BiOBUDDi building blocks made from plants Check Availability

Click-together building blocks (very similar to, and compatible with, LEGO Duplo) - made locally in Europe? Without plastic or any petroleum, just plants!?! Yes! That's BiOBUDDi!

Feel great about where it comes from:

• Raw materials from Europe? No - Brazil - we are not thrilled about this because it's far away (transport carbon emissions). But we do have assurance that no rainforest was removed to create the sugarcane fields:
• The sugarcane is grown in a different region of Brazil far from the Amazon rainforest
• The Brazilian government doesn't allow new sugarcane plantations because they feel the country has enough
• Organic? Yes >70% of the sugarcane is organically-grown
• Manufactured in Europe? Yes - Netherlands
• What's it made from? Bioplastic (specifically Green PE) - an innovative, carbon-neutral material made from the leftovers after sugarcane is harvested. It's 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. Bioplastic is fully recyclable at end of life along with petro-plastics. Think of it as FairTrade coffee - looks the same, tastes the same, but has a very different impact on the world because of how it's produced.
