Green Toys Inc. Turns Milk Jugs into…Green Toys

Green Toys Inc. makes ….. (drum roll) …….. green toys. Okay, you had to see that coming (for the second time). But what that means is that their toys, such as the above pictured recycling truck (12″ x 6.25″ x 7″) — and a dump truck, sand box set, jump rope and more — are primarily made of recycled milk jugs.

According to Green Toys Inc.’s Web site, it starts like this:

We use recycled milk containers as the main ingredient in creating our toys. Yes, the exact plastic milk jugs that you and your family drink from every day. When you finish your milk and toss the container in the recycling bin, these milk containers are collected at your curb by a local recycling company, who then sorts them from all the other types of plastic. Next, the milk containers are reprocessed into super clean fresh plastic. For you plastic geeks, the plastic material we use is called high-density polyethylene (or HDPE). This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around.

The toys are made in California. The packaging is also green. They also contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA, and are free of lead.
