Natural Rubber – A Better Choice For Your Children

We love bringing you products that are sustainable, natural and better all round for your family and the planet. 

That’s why we're big fans of HEVEA natural rubber products for kids!

Natural rubber is a great replacement for many kinds of plastic. It comes from a natural rubber sap collected from the Hevea Brasisliensis tree. These trees have a straight trunk and grow an impressive 75 feet or more over their lifetime, with mature trees having a diameter of around 3 feet…!

There are many good reasons to choose natural rubber products and some gorgeous choices to help you make the switch today.

Why choose natural rubber?

• Natural rubber is biodegradable when exposed to sunlight, humidity and fresh air. Did you know that it takes less than a decade for a rubber toy to dissolve whereas a plastic product takes between 500 and 1,000 years?

• Using natural rubber, rather than synthetic rubber made from oil, acts against climate change by increasing the number of trees and cutting back on the use of fossil fuels. Rubber trees can be sustainably harvested for approximately 35 years.

• HEVEA products are non-toxic - free of phthalates, PVC, EVAtane, silicone, and BPA. So no harsh chemicals for you to worry about around your precious family.

• Babies love the smell of natural rubber and the special odour makes it easy for baby to identify and provide reassurance. What a lovely fact!
