He's made from 'eco felt'- not lovely like the woollen felt you can get, but better than the normal acrylic- it seems nice and strong. Apparently it "is a high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% certified recycled plastic PET bottles. On average, 10 plastic bottles produce 1 pound of fiber." Try and get your head around that one and then ask yourself who thought of that idea!
