TofuBear - a soft and cuddly friend for your little eco-warrior
Look at this cute little fellow! His name may lead you to believe he's made of tofu, and to a certain extent he is. TofuBear is made from soysilk - a fibre made from the residues left from soybeans during tofu production. 100% chemical free and totally biodegradable, soysilk is as soft and luxurious as cashmere and it can be machine washed, so perfect for a child's soft toy. Now for the science part: The process "extracts proteins from the residual oils of soybean cake – a liquid “batter” is created and cooked, then the fiber is produced by wet-spinning and stabilized by acetylating, and is then cut into short staples after curling and thermoforming". TofuBear would make a great friend for your little eco-warrior and he's available here for US$39.
