REDUCE: Non-plastic toys
The toy industry is a huge contributor to the waste stream because 90 per cent of toys made are of plastic, they’re virtually unrecyclable – and kids can’t get enough of them. AND let's not forget the plastic packaging.
Thankfully, there is a wide selection of non-plastic alternatives available.
Wooden toys are the obvious choice. They're classic, durable and long lasting. And go for ones that offer more open-ended play where children can think up lots of different games with them rather than being restricted to just one.
Stockists include Knock on Wood and Honeybee.
In short, plastic toys are BAD!
