In just the three years after launching Keeleco we have recycled the incredible figure of more than 100 million water bottles in the manufacture of the range (figures correct to the end of 2022 stock production). 70% of the entire Keel Toys collection is made from 100% recycled materials, this allows us to now offer our business partners the most complete sustainable soft toy collection in the marketplace today. The range includes Wild, Farm, Sealife, Dinosaurs, Teddy Bears, Puppies, Kittens, Nursery, Seasonal and Keeleco Adoptable World!.
