Raising plastic production

Plastic production has increased over 20-times in less than 60 years

Rise in Plastic Production - What It Means for Children’s Toys

Global plastic production has increased more than 20 times over the past 60 years, reaching a staggering 322 million tons per year.
This growth is not only numerical - it’s symbolic. It reflects the way mass consumption has reshaped our world, including the world of childhood.

What Do Toys Have to Do with It?

A huge number of today’s toys - especially those from large retail chains are made with petroleum-based plastics that do not biodegrade.
Bright colors, low prices, and fast mass production make them attractive to manufacturers, but...

Once a toy loses a child’s interest (sometimes in just a matter of weeks), it quickly becomes long-term waste piling up in landfills for decades.

It's Time for a Change

In a world where nature is bearing the weight of decades of overproduction, more and more parents are seeking sustainable and conscious alternatives.
Choosing toys made from biodegradable materials like PLA is not just an eco-friendly act, it's an investment in the future of our children.


What Can We Do?

- Choose fewer, better-quality toys that are made to last

- Support brands that use sustainable, biodegradable materials

- Teach our children a culture of care and respect for nature from an early age

Plastic won’t disappear overnight.
But the choices we make today have the power to shape the world of tomorrow.
