Here at Jeremy’s Home Store, where we sell a wide range of soft toy brands, we wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Palm Pals plushies by Aurora World!

Founded in 1981, Aurora World, Inc. is a South Korean toy manufacturer known worldwide for its high-quality products and innovative cute designs. With head offices and factories in several countries, Aurora has been operating in the UK for over 10 years now – their eye-catching products can be found in toy shops, department stores, and tourist attraction gift shops across the country.

With such extensive international operations, how does Aurora World reduce its carbon footprint and ensure the production of its soft toys is friendly to the planet? Keep reading to learn how Palm Pals are recyclable!

Is Aurora World environmentally friendly?

Yes! As a world-leading designer of branded and licensed soft toys for both children and adults, Aurora World aims to spread smiles around the globe while taking responsibility for the sources and quality of the materials they use in manufacturing.

The company prides itself on in-house research and development, and having full control over its manufacturing facilities and distribution. It also took the initiative to switch to using 100% recyclable materials in its soft toys from 2020 onwards.

While Palm Pals was their first ever line of soft toys made from fully recyclable materials, all plushies from Aurora World are now made sustainably.

What are Palm Pals made of?

The concept of Palm Pals is that these squishy-soft plush friends are perfectly sized to fit in the palm of your hand, so you can take them anywhere with you.

They are part-filled with plastic pellets and fibres made from recycled plastics, and even their cloth labels are made from recycled materials. Rather than using plastic eyes, their features are embroidered, which also makes them safer for younger children.

Their card hangtags, which feature the name, design number, and personality traits of each Aurora World Palm Pals character, are fully recyclable as well.

Why are sustainable soft toys important?

Finding the small joys in life, like adorable soft toys you can squeeze in your hand, is important – but so is preserving our planet for future generations to enjoy, too.

That’s why Aurora World is committed to making a difference in more ways than one – bringing positivity to people of all ages, everywhere, and spreading the message that even soft toys can make an impact on how we interact with the environment.

We should all be doing our bit to reduce our environmental impact, prevent pollution, conserve ecosystems, and encourage cultural change for long-term sustainability.

As a result of its green initiative, Aurora World is saving more than 400 million plastic bottles from going to global landfills every year, while also reducing the company’s annual paper usage by 30%. That’s certainly something to smile about!
