Playmobil, one of the world’s leading toy manufacturers, has confirmed that it has selected circular materials for the production of all items in its children’s portfolio, switching from traditional fossil-based to bio-based plastics.
The production of the new Playmobil JUNIOR play sets will be made from INEOS Styrolution’s bio-based ABS material, which includes 100% natural raw materials for all three conventional ABS components.
This makes it possible to increase the renewable raw material in the respective material, leaving only fossil-based additives.
The transparent toy components are made from MBS consisting of 90% bio-based raw materials. Both materials are supplied through an ISCC-certified mass-balance approach, ensuring that all Playmobil JUNIOR toys are made from at least 90% plant-based materials.
The new plastics used come from waste materials from the food or paper industry.
At least 90% recycled cardboard and 100% recycled paper is used for packaging.
