Recycled plastic toys

What is recycled plastic?

Recycled plastic is a reusable plastic material by plastic recycling, sorting, cleaning, and reprocessing other discarded or unused plastic products. Plastic recycling refers to the process of recovering waste or scrap plastic and reprocessing the materials into functional and useful products. This activity is known as the plastic recycling process. The goal of recycling plastic is to reduce high rates of plastic pollution while putting less pressure on virgin materials to produce brand new plastic products. This approach helps to conserve resources and diverts plastics from landfills or unintended destinations such as oceans.

What is a recycled plastic toy?

Recycling was first used in the textile industry and has become increasingly sophisticated, establishing the usual international standards of RCS and GRS.

FAQ

Recycled waste plastic used to make the toy is healthy and safe?
Recycled plastic does not mean garbage or toxic plastic, the recycled plastic we use comes from refrigerator liners and washing machine liners, as well as recycled water bottles, etc. We absolutely do not use industrial plastic waste. And all recycled plastics are made into pellets that pass international testing standards such as EN71/ASTM.
Is there a difference in the use of toys made of recycled and virgin materials?
Recycled plastic toys can pass tests, there is no difference between safe and healthy. The only difference is the color, Toys made of virgin materials can usually be more bright and shiny, toys made of recycled materials can also be colorful, but not so shiny.
Will recycled plastic toys be more expensive than virgin plastic toys?
Generally yes, there are about 2% more expensive Only in raw material. There are probably three reasons for this:

  1. There is a shortage of high-quality recycled scrap sources that can be used for toys at a higher cost
  2. Recycled plastic costs more in terms of cleaning and testing
  3. More uses for recycled plastic and increased demand.
