Going Green with Safe Recycled Plastic

Filed under: Hand-Picked Products, New and Cool, What's In Store by Lusso Baby

Last week we blogged about wood toys and why they’ve become popular. Now, we’re taking a look at innovations in BPA-free, safe and durable plastic.

A growing selection of toys made with new plastic formulations also uses recycled or post-consumer materials. In the case of high-density polyethylene or HDPE, the recycled material is milk jugs.

At Lusso Baby, we’re always on the lookout for eco-friendly products, so we’re excited to have HDPE products from Green Toys. We have their tea set, cookware set, chef set, recycling truck, dump truck, tool kit, and three colours of jump rope.

“On average, every pound of recycled milk jugs used in the making of Green Toys:

• Saves energy equal to 3,000 AAA batteries
• Saves enough electricity to power a TV set for 3 whole weeks
• Saves enough electricity to keep a laptop computer running for a month”

The Green Toys Eco-Friendly Tea Set has been named a hot toy by MSNBC, for it’s popularity with the growing number of parents looking for eco-friendly toys.

All the toys in the Green Toys line are also extremely durable. Because the colour is part of the plastic itself, the finish won’t chip or wear away. These toys are a wonderful addition to any eco-friendly nursery or playroom. They also make great gifts.
