Comic Relief launched its first-ever 100% plastic-free, plant-based red nose in 2021.
The noses took over 18 months to develop and are made from a natural sugar cane biproduct – making the noses biodegradable.
In 2019, Comic Relief began looking at ways to make the iconic plastic noses more sustainable after hundreds of school children asked them to create noses to help the environment.
Comic Relief co-founder Richard Curtis said: “I’m extremely pleased that we have created the first plastic-free nose for Red Nose Day 2021 – it is amazing what you can create from a sugar cane product.
“Our new Nose marks a strong step on our sustainability journey.
“We are committed to designing a more sustainable Nose every year, while continuing to make them attractive and fun, and recognise we still have a lot of work to do in creating the perfect model.”
The noses this year are eight different wild animals, made from the bagasse material.
People wear red noses to show that they are celebrating Red Nose Day.
The proceeds of the red nose go to Comic Relief so wearing yours shows that you have donated.
You can choose from a lion, a hippo, a giraffe, a sloth, a crocodile, a leopard and even two colourful options of a flamingo and a chameleon.
Some have also been made into soft toys for purchase, they are Dash the sloth, Flo the flamingo, Cam the chameleon and Dot the leopard.
Red Nose this year will be held on Friday, March 18.
Red Nose Day will air on BBC One and the iPlayer from 7pm on Friday.
The 2022 telethon will be hosted by David Tennant, Zoe Ball, Sir Lenny Henry and more.
