An Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic Guide to Gifts for Kids

Posted on November 15, 2019 by GreenMamalife

Unfortunately, a lot of the toys that are in homes today or are largely popular are toxic and leaking BPA, phthalates, and even lead into our children and homes. I won’t even go into the environmental impact because we all know plastic waste = bad for the environment. Thankfully more and more companies are offering safe and eco-friendly options.

A few favorite companies that you’ll see a lot of below is Haba and PlanToys. Along with these companies, organic cotton toys are always a great sustainable option.

Haba is a fantastic eco-friendly and non-toxic company with high quality toys. The wood is all from sustainable forests and the paint is all water based free of solvents. When any plastic is used, they use the safest plastics, polypropylene or ABS. All of it’s toys are safety certified in Europe which has much higher standards than the U.S.

PlanToys uses sustainable practices and sustainable materials. PlanToys uses non-formaldehyde glue, organic color pigment, water based dyes, soy ink and recycled paper. They even use solar energy in their manufacturing.
