Our Eco Nation™ collection, crafted from recycled materials, is a testament to our commitment. This award-winning line is celebrated for its softness and quality - proof that eco-friendly materials can indeed enhance the joy of play.

Here are some of the key sustainable practices we follow with Eco Nation™:
- Recycled Fabrics and Fillers: Every fabric and fiber filling in Eco Nation™ plush toys is sourced from recycled plastic bottles.

Wheatley™ Toys: Pioneering Sustainability in Play
In our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation, Aurora® introduces the Wheatley™ toys, a groundbreaking line that perfectly embodies where eco-responsibility meets inventive play.
As environmental awareness increases, so does the demand for products that are not only eco-friendly but also innovative. Wheatley™ toys are designed to meet this growing need, providing a sustainable alternative in the children’s toy market.
A Natural Choice for the Future
Wheatley™ toys are crafted from wheat straw, a natural byproduct of wheat harvesting that is often overlooked or discarded. This material presents a fantastic opportunity to reduce waste and avoid the environmental impact associated with traditional plastic toys. By utilizing this abundant and renewable resource, Wheatley™ toys minimize reliance on synthetic materials, promoting a healthier planet.
Advantages of Wheat Straw in Toy Production
Wheat straw offers several benefits that make it an ideal material for creating safer and more sustainable toys:
- Enhanced Sustainability: Wheat straw is a renewable resource that significantly lowers the carbon footprint associated with toy manufacturing.
- Safety and Durability: Wheatley™ toys are not only eco-friendly but are also designed to be safe and durable, enduring the rigors of playtime without compromising on quality.
- Distinctive Aesthetic: The natural wheat-straw material gives Wheatley™ toys a unique, stylish matte finish that stands out from traditional plastic toys.
Setting Wheatley™ Apart
The Wheatley™ line distinguishes itself through several key features:
- Innovative Material Use: By incorporating a wheat-straw hybrid material, these toys drastically reduce the use of plastics.
- Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable: All Wheatley™ toys are fully recyclable and biodegradable, breaking down in local industrial composting facilities within 6-9 months.
- A Step Towards a Greener Earth: Choosing Wheatley™ toys over traditional plastic toys not only reduces environmental impact but also educates children about the importance of sustainability and supporting eco-friendly practices.
With Wheatley™, Aurora® is proud to offer a product that not only delights children through imaginative play but also instills values of environmental stewardship. Embrace a future where playtime is not just fun but fundamentally focused on preserving the world for future generations.

- Reducing Environmental Impact - Eco-friendly practices minimize the environmental footprint of production, helping preserve natural resources, reduce waste, and cut down on carbon emissions.
- Preventing Pollution - By using non-toxic materials and improving waste management, businesses can significantly reduce their pollutant output, protecting air, water, and soil quality.
- Conserving Biodiversity - Sustainable sourcing helps prevent habitat destruction, supporting biodiversity and ensuring ecosystems continue to thrive.
- Ensuring Future Sustainability - Adopting sustainable practices today secures the environmental resources needed by future generations, promoting long-term ecological health.
