Plastic Free July And Why We Should Aim For Eco-friendly & Sustainable Toys For Little Ones - By Nehinder

Plastic Free July is here again - a global movement with roots in Australia - aimed to reduce plastic pollution by challenging people to give up single-use plastics for the month of July. The initiative reaches millions of conscious people worldwide so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.

At Treasure Trunk, we are not only passionate about sustainable and plastic-free toys + learning resources, but we also lay great emphasis on eco-friendly and recyclable packaging for all orders placed on our website. As a company, we choose brands and resources to stock that are high-quality and made from natural materials. We take pride in being a mum-run small business that is right behind this cause, limiting our carbon footprint and impact on our beautiful planet. 

Why Choose Eco-friendly Toys?
If you're looking for more ways that you can do your part for our Earth, consider choosing sustainable toys over plastic toys to get started. Here are some reasons why you should switch to plastic-free and more sustainable toys for children:

1. Toys made with wood and other sustainable materials such as wood, felt, cardboard, and plant-based bioplastic are eco-friendly, safe and educational. You won't have to worry about exposing your kids to harmful substances and toxins often found in plastic toys.
2. Toys and learning resources that are made of durable materials enhance fun and creativity. They have been proven to develop hand-eye coordination, imagination, cognitive and problem-solving skills and numeracy skills.
3. You will be eliminating the use of batteries to enjoy these open-ended toys, further reducing environmental waste.
4. Easily recycled and reused, high-quality toys are long-lasting and cost-effective. These can be enjoyed in more than one way and passed on to the future generation of curious learners.

Let's Live Sustainably!

If you don't know where to get started, we’re here to help! We have a website full of sustainable and eco-friendly learning resources that we proudly stock. Browse through to add these to your little one's playroom and in your life for the month (and beyond!). Now, more than ever our environment needs us and remember, we’re all in this together.
