EARTH DAY - HOW ARE WE MOVING FORWARDS

Our world is a very special planet, and our environmental responsibilities are becoming more and more pressing and it is crucial for businesses, like us to take proactive steps towards sustainability. 

We are making great strides and are committed in creating products that are not only fun but also as gentle as possible on the earth's resources. In this article, we will explore how Le Toy Van are moving towards our Corporate Social Responsibility and environmental, social and governance practices to help protect our planet for future generations.

 Plastic Free & Compostable Packaging

In the planet's fight against plastics, we want to be a part of the solution, not the problem. We are making positive changes in every product and through our conscious design process we are reducing all plastic in our wooden toys and packaging whilst ensuring play quality and safety are not diminished!

We are achieving this by opting for plastic-free packaging, eliminating plastic display windows and inner trays, and replacing them with detailed images expertly crafted by our illustrators and printed card boxes. By changing to windowless boxes our packaging can be recycled and are compatible which can easily decompose without leaving behind harmful residues.  lowering the environmental impact, carbon footprint and minimise plastic waste which unfortunately often ends up in landfills or oceans.

Wooden Toys vs Plastic Toys

The primary way we contribute towards a greener planet is through our toys themselves!

We believe in play without plastic. Wooden toys are not only better for children’s development but better for the planet too as they are bio degradable and can be easily recycled. Plastic toys have a much shorter lifespan, and they often end up broken and in landfill sites, where they can take hundreds of years to degrade, posing a threat to wildlife and polluting the planet.

Our wooden toys are designed and built to last and are often played with generation after generation. We are proud to still see our first ever dolls houses, made over 29 years ago still played with by the third or fourth generations of families.

Sourcing Sustainable Wood

All our new toys are made from FSC®-certified wood and our company is regularly audited to ensure compliance. This widely recognised accreditation ensures that the wood sourced is from responsibly managed forests that adhere to strict environmental and social governance. By choosing FSC® -certified wood, we are supporting forest conservation efforts and promoting sustainable forestry practices.
