New OceanBound Recycled Toys To Save Our Seas
Time to shell-ebrate! Green Toys’ new recycled toys range is now in stock, and all the toys are made from discarded plastic collected from coastlines. Read on to discover more about OceanBound Plastic and explore the ‘shrimp-ly’ amazing new collection!
What Are OceanBound Recycled Toys?
OceanBound toys are made from plastic at risk of entering our oceans. Unlike most recycled plastic toys, which are made from plastic collected from kerbside recycling bins, OceanBound Plastic is sourced from within 50km of waterways in communities that lack formal recycling infrastructures.
The OceanBound Plastic programme is crucial to the protection of our oceans and environment, and Green Toys has teamed up with OceanBound to craft a collection of quality eco toys that help to save our seas while bringing joy to playtimes.
Can OceanBound Plastic Be Recycled?
Yes! OceanBound Plastic is recycled and recyclable. It’s made from non-toxic High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE), which means it can be collected from any regular kerbside recycling scheme that accepts HDPE waste.
