Grimms, Ostheimer, Plan Toys, Green Toys, Everearth, Kapla, Orchard Toys.... 

There are many beautiful sustainable brands, but not enough time to research them all! We get it. That is why we have compiled a list of 3 sustainable toy brands to help you choose the best.

So.

What is a Sustainable Toy? 

A sustainable toy is produced from renewable and/or natural materials. Its manufacturing process does not cause pollution, such as the release of carbon or greenhouse gases. At the end of its life, a sustainable toy biodegrades. The clean materials used in the manufacturing process of these toys mean that these toys are safe for your children.

At Childplay, we want to make a difference in the lives of Australian children. That is why we carry a range of sustainable toys that embrace nature and help children feel connected to the world around them. Sustainably harvested wooden toys are a great example of this. They are making an enormous comeback with the iconic Grimm’s Rainbow and Kapla toys currently trending. 

We have compiled a list of three 100% sustainable, award-winning and enriching brands; to help you build a sustainable playroom.

Green Toys 

Green Toys are our current favourite in the sustainable toy aisle! These adorable recycled toys are produced from milk caps and containers. Green Toys is where Old becomes new. 

All toys are made from post-consumer plastic waste, diverting the milk jugs and yoghurt cups from landfills, therefore saving energy and reducing carbon footprint! Green Toys packaging uses 100% recyclable cardboard or post-consumer water bottles.

To date, they have recycled over 122,000,000 milk jugs! 

Not only are Green Toys super affordable, they are also award-winning!
