Gifts from Your Recycling Bin

Cleaned boxes and packages of all shapes and colours plus some art supplies, make for fun a crafternoon and endless hours of play.

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is definitely retro, but the sentiment is as important today as ever. Every product we purchase has an environmental footprint, from the materials used to create it to the pollution emitted during manufacturing to the packaging that ends up in landfills.

Shockingly, 80% of all toys end up in landfill, incinerators, or the ocean. This stat from The World Counts, a global awareness organization, is staggering. So, before you buy, ask yourself if you really need something new, consider what you already have or maybe you can make it out of materials you already own.

USE YOUR RECYCLING BIN AND YOUR IMAGINATION TO CREATE NEW TOYS.

Cleaned boxes and packages of all shapes and colours plus a some art supplies make for fun a crafternoon and endless hours of play. And remember, for the countless toys that already exist, reuse and sharing models are pivotal to prevent them from becoming waste.
