Trying To Go Green: grow

Are you like me and try to be as green as you can? Or are you just starting out with recycling? Well let me tell you about Green Toys. How are green toys made you ask? Well let me tell you.

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.

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!!

Toy Safety and Testing Green Toys products are tested by nationally recognized, independent, third-party labs (located, yes, in the USA.) They contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of lead paint.

Our products pass a plethora of tests, including:

Consumer Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)
Consumer Products Safety Standard Specification, ASTM F963
California Prop. 65 restrictions on lead & cadmium
FDA regulations for food contact
Voluntary testing for no BPA (Bisphenol-A)
International standards EN71 and ISO 8124
