Made using Notpla Rigid, our injection-mouldable material crafted entirely from natural ingredients - the Kelpy Bone shows how nature can perform just as well as plastic, without leaving a trace behind.

This plastic-free, durable alternative sits outside single-use plastic directives, yet delivers all the strength and playtime endurance any dog could need.

After a successful debut in Australia, Kelpy Bone is now preparing to expand into new markets, proving that the future of pet play can be fun, functional, and regenerative.

A huge thank you to our partners at Plastek UK and the Kelpy Bone team for bringing this idea to life and for showing what’s possible when innovation meets nature.
