Because every small step counts, Kaloo is committed to a responsible approach to make a positive contribution to sustainable development issues:
- - use of polyester from recycled plastic bottles for the padding and/or the composition of our soft toys and comforters,
- - reusable cardboard gift boxes for baby's little things,
- - actions in favor of early childhood alongside 2 associations and organizations which work for the well-being of toddlers and their families through awareness-raising, prevention and donations, and which mobilize in favoring the awakening of children.
Together, let's make the world of little ones a better place and protect the environment in which they will grow up, by promoting their gentle awakening and reducing the impact of our activities on the environment!
Baby's entourage is rightly becoming more and more demanding, with a real sensitivity to biological materials that have less impact on the environment. Kaloo is committed to an approach in favor of ecology by offering reusable gift boxes made from recyclable cardboard, as well as soft toys and comforters made from recycled polyester; to offer you birth gifts that meet your requirements in terms of composition and durability of the materials used.
Recycled polyester in the composition of our products
Design, choice of materials, safety, requirements in manufacturing, finishing and packaging are all criteria on which we rely to properly support the little ones as they enter the world. Today, all of our items are padded with polyester fiber filling derived from recycled plastic bottles.
For soft toys that are as soft as they are comfortable, pleasant to cuddle !
The Carré Douceur collection: comforters made from 95% recycled polyester
Carré Douceur is the range of Kaloo comforters made from more sustainable material: polyester from recycled plastic bottles is used both for the design and for the padding of these happy companions. These little cuddly toys hold against them a very soft square cuddly toy decorated with a beautiful print. Sometimes floral or narrative, the print is found in the little ears of the animals to make them ever cuter! Rabbit, teddy bear, mouse, cat or dog cuddly toys: they are all presented in their cardboard gift box. Great gift ideas for a birth list !
Reusable cardboard gift boxes
All our iconic boxes are designed with the aim of being reused by families as a storage box or decorative object in the baby's room. Matching the cuddly toys, they can hold little memories of baby's first moments.
In this logic, our boxes respect a refined graphic charter which makes them not only the perfect boxes for a birth gift, but also a reusable object.
As of 2020, most gift boxes no longer include plastic. We strive, wherever possible, to favor recyclable materials in the making of our product boxes.
Reuse our gift boxes: our suggestions
Souvenir boxes
After baby is born, you slip all your first memories into the pretty box that matches your baby's comforter : the maternity bracelet, the birth announcement, the first pajamas or hat... In short, everything you need is important to you to keep. Emotion guaranteed when you delve into this memory box with your child when he or she grows up!
Drawer dividers
It's not always easy to navigate among the different piles in baby's dresser drawers! To better organize the contents and not mix up small socks and other bodysuits, you can use our boxes to compartmentalize and separate clothes or outfits. You can even label them to find your way around even better.
DIY for your photo frames
Delicate illustrations decorate the bottom of our boxes: why not use them to personalize the back of your photo frames? To do this, simply cut out the part of the box you want to keep and slide it onto the back of the baby photo. This adds a touch of emotion to your child's photo, then decorated with a pattern reminiscent of their favorite cuddly toy or soft toy.

Actions in favor of early childhood
A message of sweetness and beautiful stories from the heart:
♥ The Petit Coeur de Beurre association ♥
We have supported the Petit Cœur de Beurre association since 2017.
Petit Cœur de Beurre raises awareness among the public about congenital heart disease and acts on a daily basis to improve the quality of life of little patients and their families. Kaloo is committed to their side by providing comfort and tenderness to babies and children with heart defects through the donation of comfort toys, which will accompany them in their care journey and well beyond the hospital.
In collaboration with the Association and the Necker hospital in Paris, the Kaloo brand designed and created "Little Panda", an endearing mascot designed to soothe and reassure children throughout the catheterization process.
Catheterization is a medical procedure consisting of introducing a small tube, the catheter, into a vein or artery to avoid open-heart surgery. This medical procedure can be worrying about children and their families, and the presence of “Little Panda” aims to reassure them. “Little Panda” explains the medical protocol to children through an explanatory booklet, which can help them understand and overcome their concerns.
The idea of introducing "Little Panda" in the catheterization room and the recovery room, as well as in the form of a soft toy given to each child before and after the operation, is a great initiative to give children the courage necessary to face this difficult medical ordeal.
♥ The Dons Solidaires association ♥
Since 2018, Kaloo has supported the Dons Solidaires association by offering soft toys and cuddly toys to disadvantaged families.
Dons Solidaires offers donations as an alternative to the destruction of unsold items and allows Kaloo to fulfill its societal mission. Article 35 of the AGEC law has required, since January 1, 2022, producers, importers and distributors to reuse, reuse or recycle unsold non-food products.
More than 337 associations have benefited from the “CHRISTMAS FOR ALL” operation since the start of the partnership with the Janod and Kaloo brands. 186,790 items have been donated by Kaloo and other brands from the JURATOYS group since the start of the collaboration, that's as many happy children!
