Teddy Mountain Launches ECO Origins
Teddy Mountain LLC. has launched ECO Origins™ in the US and UK, a new collection of sustainable plush products designed to educate and engage as it ignites calls to action in support of local conservation and environmental sustainability. ECO Origins™ is available for B2B distribution in the USA, UK, EU and The Emirates.
Featuring a range of vulnerable, threatened, or endangered animal species, the ECO Origins™ product lineup features certified sustainable materials, including all fabrics, stitching, fiber, hang tags, fasteners, sewn-in tags and packaging. An accordion style graphical hang tag provides an immersive learning experience with fun facts about each species featured in the plush line.
Each animal has its own dedicated QR code, linking consumers to cultural and geographic content specific to local conservation efforts in Teddy Mountain’s core markets – the US, UK, EU and The Emirates. Teddy Mountain is collaborating with partners in each of these locations, empowering customers to actively participate in targeted sustainability efforts.
“While there have been numerous attempts at sustainability in similar products, many lack a transformative call to action from an educational and environmental stewardship standpoint,” said Pat Shirkey, President of Teddy Mountain LLC. “The overall intent behind the design of this new line is to inspire our brand ambassadors to engage in localized conservation efforts and eco-conscious practices. ECO Origins™ accomplishes this through interactivity and play and is a part of our broader Plush with a Purpose™ mission.”
Ryan Davies, Director and CEO of Teddy Mountain UK/UAE, added, “ECO Origins™ inspires positive environmental change through hands-on learning and creative expression. By integrating recycled materials and partnering with schools and community programs, ECO Origins™ addresses the growing demand for meaningful sustainability education. In a world where 77% of consumers are actively seeking brands that align with their environmental values, this initiative serves as a catalyst for change, nurturing a generation passionate about preserving our planet.”
As a Corporate ‘Call to Action,’ Teddy Mountain is taking an innovative approach to wildlife and habitat protection through its Partners for Preservation™ program. This initiative unites expert environmental organizations to create meaningful change in wildlife conservation and habitat protection. Its first “Spotlight” partner, Green Kids Club, raises awareness of critical environmental issues while collaborating with groups like Elephants Without Borders, Saving the Survivors and Blood Lions. Every ECO Origins™ purchase supports global conservation efforts, including book donations, scholarships, and educational programs that inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
ECO Origins™ Mission
“At Teddy Mountain, our mission with ECO Origins™ is to create a new generation of eco-friendly, DIY plush animals that go beyond comfort—they are made entirely from recycled materials and serve as ambassadors for conservation. Each plush is not only crafted with sustainability in mind but also comes with fun, educational information about real species, helping customers take small steps towards protecting wildlife. Through our innovative, interactive platform, we aim to inspire individuals and businesses alike to embrace environmental stewardship, fostering a deeper connection to nature and contributing to a cleaner, healthier planet.”
