This is a great example of someone using recyclable materials to turn waste into something useful!
Green Toys Inc. do just that – they use the milk containers sent to the recycler to create a line of chic and eco-friendly classic toys for children.
Their website points out that every pound of the milk jugs recycled means the equivalent of 3000 AAA batteries is saved in energy. That’s three weeks worth of electricity needed to power television or even a laptop’s power for a month.
These eco-friendly toys are also a great way for parents to start teaching their children about the benefits of being good to their environment from a young age.
Green Toys currently have a beautiful range of eco-toys including building blocks, indoor gardening kits, tugboats, tool sets and tea sets amongst many others.
The toys really are attractive and look like top of the range playthings. It is so inspirational to see corporations exploring greener options, especially when they come up with such successful products.
