♻️ Our Plush Recycling Program

Soft hearts don’t belong in landfills. Here’s how to give your plush a second life.

​

At Skoggy, we’re doing our best to balance comfort and conscience. Our plushies are made from synthetic materials to ensure softness, washability, and durability — but that also means they don’t biodegrade easily.

​

That’s why we created the Plush Recycling Program — a way to ensure that even old, damaged, or unwanted plushies don’t end up in a landfill.

​

🧶 What Plushies Qualify?

We accept:

• Used or retired Skoggy plushies (any condition)

• Used or retired non-Skoggy plushies made from any material (must be plush toys)

​

We do not accept plushies with:

• Electronic components or batteries

• Hard plastic cores

​

🔁 What Happens to the Plush?

Every plush sent through the program is:

• Carefully disassembled and sorted

• Cleaned and sterilized

• Recycled into materials used in insulation, automotive stuffing, pet beds, or even future plush products by other companies

• Or donated (if still in usable condition) to shelters or children’s programs

 

Nothing gets thrown away unless it truly has no salvageable parts.

​

📬 How to Recycle a Plush

1. Submit a Plush Recycling Request on our Plush Recycling Request form

2. We’ll send you the shipping or drop-off instructions.

3. You cover postage if applicable — but you'll be rewarded with:

   • Bonus berries to use as a Skoggy Rewards member for discounts and other redeemables

   • A thank-you note from the Skoggy team

   • That warm fuzzy feeling of doing good for the world

​

🐻 Why This Matters

Plushies are often made from materials that live in landfills for hundreds of years. By recycling them properly, we:

• Reduce synthetic waste

• Extend the lifecycle of every plushie or their materials

• Make space for new plushies with less guilt

​

Whether you’re decluttering or saying goodbye to a longtime friend, we’ll make sure their journey continues somewhere meaningful.
