King Charles III Receives Green Blue Peter Badge – Manufactured in Cornwall by CHX Products

Cornwall-based sustainable merchandise manufacturer CHX Products has supplied Blue Peter badges exclusively for over a decade. The latest milestone: a Green Badge presented to His Majesty the King.

On 22nd April 2026, King Charles III was presented with a Green Blue Peter Badge during a visit to The King’s Foundation’s Pierburg Education Centre and Kauffman Education Garden, as part of the Foundation’s 35th anniversary celebrations.

The Green Blue Peter Badge is awarded for genuine environmental achievement. It is one of the top Blue Peter Badges and is not presented lightly. For CHX Products, the Bodmin-based manufacturer that makes every Blue Peter badge, the moment carries particular significance.

Every badge in the Blue Peter range is produced at CHX Products’ solar-powered facility in Bodmin, Cornwall, using recycled plastic. The combination of renewable energy, recycled materials, and UK-based manufacturing means the badge presented to the King is, itself, a product of the sustainable principles it represents.

In their own words

“The Green Badge recognises environmental achievement. The fact that it is made here in Cornwall, from recycled plastic, powered by solar energy, feels like more than a coincidence. It is a reflection of values we have built our business on, and we are proud to play a small part in a moment like this.”

Andy, Managing Director, CHX Products

About the Green Blue Peter Badge

While the standard Blue Peter Badge is awarded for appearing on the show, the Green Badge requires demonstrated commitment to environmental causes. His Majesty’s receipt of the badge recognised decades of advocacy for sustainable land use, food production, and environmental stewardship.

A second Green Badge was sealed in a time capsule during the same visit, marking The King’s Foundation’s 35th anniversary.

A long-standing partnership

CHX Products is the exclusive manufacturer of Blue Peter badges. The relationship spans well over a decade and has included on-screen features, with Blue Peter presenters visiting the Bodmin facility to see the badge manufacturing process firsthand.

The company produces the full range of plastic Blue Peter badges, each made from recycled plastic at its solar-powered Cornwall site.
