Product Description

From the Manufacturer

What were once plastic bottles are now cuddly toys. Introducing Fuzz That Wuzz. The outer fabric and the stuffing are both high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% recycled plastic PET bottles. Did you know that two million plastic bottles are used in the US every ten minutes and 51 billion go into landfills annually? It will take 700 years before plastic bottles in landfills start to decompose - and less than 30% of plastic bottles in the US are actually recycled. Each one of these toys keep over 10 bottles out of a landfill. It’s not enough, but it’s certainly a start. Whimsical, soft and gently colored, these are friends you can feel good about loving. Mary Meyer it's a natural.

This review is from: Mary Meyer EarthMates, Fuzz That Wuzz 100% Recycled, Peanutzzzz Elephant, 12" (Toy)

I first encountered "Fuzz that Wuzz" in a bookstore, and liked the idea of creating plush toys from soda bottles. Especially as I drink a lot of diet soda, and send the bottles off for (I hope) recycling.

So when shopping for my niece's first birthday I picked up four critters from this series: a cow, a horse, a bear, and an elephant. All seem to be well made, and baby friendly. They tend to be on the more stuffed and therefore more rigid side of plush, and while soft enough they are not as luxurious as some plush. Thus they are better suited for play than for cuddling.

Peanutzzz the elephant was the biggest hit with the adults. All the elephant cuteness with no risk of anything getting stomped.
