FAQ

Can you make toys from the sugar cane plant? Yes you can and we as BiOBUDDi do this! We make the majority of our toys from the residual flows of sugar cane. In this way we make a positive impact on the climate. Curious how we transform this plant into sustainable toys? Watch the video below:

BiOBUDDi is friendly to the environment. The production process cycle, the use and the waste phase of BiOBUDDi's products are entirely eco-friendly. At this moment our main basic material comes from sugarcane plants, unlike oil, this is a sustainable resource. We reuse a portion that remains in the processing of sugarcane. This portion forms the basis of a natural developed compound that is biobased. Biobased products are those derived from plants and other renewable resources as opposed to non-renewable materials, such as petroleum. BiOBUDDi can prove that its products are biobased through a DIN CERTCO certification from the recognized testing company TÜV Rheinland.

Certificate

BiOBUDDi searched for a resource that absorbs carbon dioxide, a resource that is recyclable and usable for the production of toys. BiOBUDDi discovered these traits in sugarcane plants. These plants absorb carbon dioxide to grow while turning it into oxygen. The side stream of this sugarcane processing can be used to create bio-ethanol, this is a kind of alcohol used to create green polyethylene (Green PE). This polyethylene is compounded in Germany on the basis of its own patented formula. lt forms the basis of all BiOBUDDi's renewable plastic products. BiOBUDDi products have a positive impact on CO2 emissions instead of a negative one.

Watch this short video to get a better understanding about the differences between BiOBUDDi material and conventional plastic material:

BiOBUDDi originated in the Netherlands. To ensure the quality we check the production process from up close. This is also one of the reasons that the toys are produced in the Netherlands. Our process is guaranteed of respect for the earth and the people on it. To have the production process entirely in our own hands, it was decided to produce everything ourselves. The entire development of the product takes place with love from the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a beautiful country that values quality and environmental friendliness. We would like to make the message of building a better tomorrow known worldwide through our products.

No, it does not. All the materials used by BiOBUDDi do not affect the food chain.

Because of the natural origin of the products, there are differences in the look and feel with conventional plastics.

BiOBUDDi products are available in various, warm, and vibrant, colours. The product is known for its matte finish and owes this to the natural origin of the material. Because of this special finish, the blocks connect without any effort since they very smoothly slide on top of one another.

BiOBUDDi believes it is possible to play and have fun with toys without harming the environment. That's the reason we produce eco-friendly toys for children. Everyone has the right to consume products that are safe for their health and safety for the environment that they live in. That's why before learning more about BiOBUDDi, we want to tell you an important thing about our planet.

Global warming:
You've probably heard of global warming. It happens because today we use energy for everything we do. Producing this energy releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. This CO2 contributes to the greenhouse effect, which increases global warming. Our goal is to be part of ending this harmful cycle. Our vision is to build a better tomorrow In order to achieve this, we have committed ourselves to make only products that have a positive impact on CO2 emissions.

BiOBUDDi considers the entire life cycle of great importance. Not only the production phase but also the final phase of a product is closely examined. Materials that BiOBUDDi uses to make its products can be recycled. lt differs per country whether products are actually recycled. This is a constantly changing and innovative process. lf our products are not recycled, there is still a positive CO2 impact. So even when it is industrially incinerated, we have a positive CO2 print. We do think recycling is important. We also believe that a long-term use of our toys , for genrations, is important.

All our packaging is approved by FSC. This certification ensures responsible sources and helps forests remain thriving environments for generations to come. We try to stimulate our customers to re-use our packaging. It is lots of fun to use your packaging as a playing tool with toys.
We do not use any platic materials within the packaging. We are constantly developing our packaging strategy.

Toy blocks, domminoes, puzzles, playing cards all help your child’s development. They help stimulating creativity and imagination. Building with the toy blocks helps to develop spatial awareness and motor skills.

All BiOBUDDi toys are educational and fun. 

Each box specifies the required age; this way you can tell which play set is suited for your child. All our products are tested according to international toy regulations.
We advise to always read the warning texts on the packaging.

BiOBUDDi building blocks are sturdy and will last for generations. They are environmentally friendly, this does not mean that they do not last long. The toy sets are just as durable to use as non-environmentally friendly toy sets often made from petroleum or wood. If you no longer want to use the toy, we recommend that you first donate the toy to another family or perhaps a charity. If you want to throw the toy away, hand it into the recycling center nearby. In this way, recycling is guaranteed.

The size of the BiOBUDDi building blocks matches the size of those of different brands. The building blocks are therefore compatible with blocks from other brands. So children can easily mix BiOBUDDi blocks together with other blocks. If you already have toy blocks and your home does not through them away but use them together with BiOBUDDi toy blocks.

We plant trees and are proud of it! The behaviour of people and companies causes great damage to the environment. According to science, the large emissions of CO2 have major negative consequences for the future of our beautiful planet. It is for the future of our children that we must contribute to a better future. BiOBUDDi would very much like to contribute.
