Green Toys

Green Toys is a company dedicated to providing environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional toys. All of their toys are made from recycled plastic milk containers that are non-toxic, save energy, reduce landfill waste and lower greenhouse gas emissions. And all of the toys contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or Bisphenol-A (BPA).

The products were designed without an external coating as well, eliminating fears of lead paint...and they meet the FDA's requirements for food contact. This is key for their Tea Set and Cookware and Dining Set...and because my daughter ate her crackers out of the sand pail yesterday afternoon!

All aspects of its toy production, including manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and fulfillment, occur in California, a state known for strict environmental standards. In addition, the close proximity of the company’s vendors and operations eliminates unnecessary transportation and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Green Toys Inc. has also extended its environmental efforts into its packaging by using recycled paper products with no traditional plastics or films.

Green Toys just announced their line this past February and already have four hit products on their hands for every child: a Tea Set, Sand Play Set, Indoor Gardening Kit and a Cookware and Dining Set.
