WHY IT’S GREEN
- Organic Rubberwood: all Plan Toys are made with clean, natural rubberwood from rubber trees which no longer produce latex. To keep the rubberwood pure, no fertilizer is added to the soil for three years before the trees are cut. To strengthen the wood, Plan Toys uses a special chemical-free kiln drying process
- E-Zero Glue: every Plan Toy is assembled using a proprietary, non-formaldehyde E-Zero glue instead of the commonly-used toxic wood glues
- Water-based Dye: Plan Toys does not use dyes containing lead or any other heavy metals — they use only safe, non-toxic water-based dyes on all of their toys
- Recycle and Recyclable Material: Plan Toys uses recycled and recyclable material to minimize the impact on the environment
- Soy Ink & Water based Ink: Plan Toys uses soy and water-based inks on all printed materials — these inks are more readily biodegradable and can be recycled more efficiently than standard chemical ink
WHY WE CHOSE IT
- Plan Toys is committed to and has achieved recognition in: Quality Management (ISO 9001) award for achieving world-class product quality and service standards; Toy Safety Standard (ASTM & EN71): for exceeding international toy safety standards; Environmental Management (ISO 14001): showing their commitment to environmental awareness both locally and globally; Occupational Health and Safety Management (OHSAS 18001): providing a safe and healthy work environment; Social Accountability Management (SA 8000): for enhancing employees’ quality of life by providing full and equal opportunity to all workers.
- Solar energy and low emission biofuels are used to power the machinery that kiln-dries the wood and the finished toys
- Biomass: Wood scraps and wood chips left over from manufacturing toys are burned as fuel for the kiln drying process instead of using chemical preservatives, which prevents energy and material waste
