We’re continuously seeking more sustainable solutions.
We believe in the future of play.
That’s why we’ve taken our first steps toward building a kid-friendly planet by incorporating more sustainable practices into creating our blocks, packaging and more.
We pride ourselves on an integrated system of play. All of our building sets can be connected together; this means our toys are always compatible and never go out of date. By design, we’ve created long-lasting toys that can be passed down again and again.
All of the blocks in our plant-based line are made from bio-based resins. These blocks are made with a minimum of 90% plant-based plastics (plastic made from materials extracted from plants). Our plant-based blocks are recyclable (see our Terracycle® partnership below) and are just as durable and long-lasting as our traditional blocks. In fact, both types of blocks stack together perfectly.
To reduce waste, we incorporate a holistic approach – we think about ways we can make every toy as sustainable as possible – from concept to retail/ whether online on in-store.
Sustainability is a primary concern for all our teams: Our designers consider plastic and cardboard (packaging) reduction, assembly line optimization and recyclability; our engineers explore efficient manufacturing practices; our packaging specialists are aiming to replace materials with recycled and recyclable alternatives.
We’re not perfect, but we are working hard to be better, to be more responsible. We’re all about progress, not perfection. And we’re proud to be heading in the right direction because we’re committed to building a kid-friendly planet.
We strive to be as sustainable as possible when it comes to our packaging:
of our packaging is made from recyclable materials
All packaging and instruction manuals are made from FSC certified materials such as recycled and sustainably sourced materials
of packaging and packaging components can be recycled again
Packaging features soy-based inks and water-based lamination
The H2Recycle logo appears on all of our packaging to educate on how to recycle our packaging
We’ve partnered with TerraCycle in Canada to make recycling our toys easier. (We’re looking forward to further expansion.) Click below to find out how our blocks are recycled and help us ensure that none of our toys end up in landfills!
