The Silicone story (and why it's better for the environment)

Silica, or silicon dioxide, is the raw material in silicone. Beach sand is pure silica. The same goes for quartz.

To make these toys, silica is converted into pure silicon by heating it to extremely high temperatures. Oxygen, carbon and hydrogen are then added. These elements bond together as polymers to form a final resin.

Silicone is as strong as metal and more flexible than plastic. However, unlike plastic derived from petrochemicals, its manufacture doesn’t hurt the environment or generate toxic waste.

Why use wheat fibre?

The wheat fibre in our new spades comes from the organic waste of cultivated wheat. It's high in cellulose. This is extracted via natural methods to create an eco-friendly bioplastic that degrades in landfill.

While it’s often hard to tell the diffrence between wheat fibre ABS plastic and normal plastic, you'll notice the wheat fibre in our spades has subtle beige, white and tan flecks.
