Start
Simple: Recycled Plastic Milk Jugs
We use recycled milk containers as the
main ingredient in creating our toys. Yes, the exact plastic milk jugs
that you and your family drink from every day. When you finish your milk
and toss the container in the recycling bin, these milk containers are
collected at your curb by a local recycling company, who then sorts them
from all the other types of plastic. Next, the milk containers are
reprocessed into super clean fresh plastic. For you plastic geeks, the
plastic material we use is called high-density polyethylene (or HDPE).
This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around.

Made
in California, USA:
Less Transportation, Less Energy
All Green Toys products are
100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in
California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It's cool to buy USA, but also think about this:
transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses.
We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever
think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local
store?
Our toys
are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk
container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in
California. Our raw materials and toys aren't shipped from overseas,
which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also
guarantees your toys won't get seasick before they get to your home!

Environmental
Packaging
Green Toys environmental mission even extends
to our packaging. We strive to minimize packaging, and all of our boxes
use as little material as possible. All Green Toys products are
packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or
twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. So, not only are they
earth-friendly and ready for your recycling bin, they are really easy to
open for those little fingers just itching to get at the toys!! |
