eco-chic design: gorgeously green toys made from 100% recycled plastic
Saddened that my favorite Barnes & Noble location closes down I discovered this great recycling truck by Green Toys next to a beautifully designed bamboo plane by Hape on their shelves. I’ve always been surprised how few recycling bins are made of recycled materials and was thrilled that the recycling truck is made of recycled HDPE plastic. Besides that the design is super cool of course. The more plastic we can keep out of landfills the better. And that’s why I love Green Toys’ range of upcycled products made from recycled milk jugs or plastic bags. All Green Toys products are 100% made in California to keep the manufacturing process local including milk container recycling, toy production and assembly. I applaud companies that consider the full supply chain of their products to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The recycling truck teaches eco-kids about recycling through its three compartments that let them sort little scraps of bottles, cans and papers. It has a movable recycling bed and a rear door that swings open. Plus it’s free of BPA, phthalates and lead paint.
