Go Green Review & Giveaway: Green Toys

One of the coolest companies I have found that makes green toys is actually called Green Toys. Their toys are made of out recycled milk cartons which I just think is a cool idea. Milk containers are reprocessed into a clean fresh plastic called high-density polyethylene that is considered one of the cleanest and safest plastics around.

One of the largest contributors to greenhouse gasses is transportation. Green Toys are made in the USA, California to be more exact. Every step of the toy making process takes place in California which saves energy and means fewer greenhouse gasses from transportation.

Even the packaging of Green Toys is environmentally friendly. They use as little packaging as possible and the material they use (recycled corrugated boxes) is 100% recyclable. They don’t use any plastic or twist ties which means the boxes are easy to open and there are no dangerous parts. Kids can open the package themselves with no help from Mom or Dad!

Green Toys have been thoroughly tested by nationally recognized independent labs located in the USA. They contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of lead paint.

Green Toys sent me their Dump Truck for my review. It’s hard for me to believe this toy is actually made out of milk jugs. It is tough and durable which is great because my two year old has a tendency to crash his trucks into everything. He has already broken several of his other toys by playing so roughly with them. This truck from Green Toys seems practically indestructible. It’s design is simple and the colors bright. It’s the perfect toy for little boys.
