Q1. Why should I switch to plastic-free toys?

Q2. What materials are Our Better Planet's eco-toys made of?
A2. Fabric, wool, and even better recycled wood are used to make our toys which means they are eco-friendly, and stop deforestation.
Q3. How do I know if a toy or game is sustainable?
A3. If the game is made of durable materials, is affordable, does not contain plastic or harsh chemicals, and carries a fair trade certificate, you can consider it a sustainable kids toy. Happy sustainable shopping.
Q4. Can sustainable toys and games be as durable as traditional toys?
A4. An argument that is made in favor of plastic toys is that they are long-lasting. Well, so are sustainable toys as unlike some conventional toys they are meant to last for years and not be used and thrown away after a few years of play. So yes, we can argue that sustainable toys can be as durable as traditional toys. Happy sustainable shopping!
Q5. Can sustainable toys and games be recycled or composted?
A5. Each sustainable children’s toy is unique and made from different materials. They can be fabric based, upcycled materials, or more. Hence saying that all sustainable toys and games can be recycled or composed would be greenwashing. Instead we advise you to check the raw materials of a product and whether those can be composted and or or recycled in the facilities near your place of living. Happy sustainable shopping.
Q6. How do I know if a toy or game is sustainable?
A6. To ensure that a toy or a game is sustainable, you can look at the materials it is made of and check whether they are sustainable.
