GREEN MATERIAL
PlanToys® uses environmentally-friendly materials.
Kiln Dry, Chemical Free Rubberwood
All PlanToys® are made with clean, natural rubberwood from rubber trees which no longer produce latex. To keep the rubberwood pure, no fertilizer is added to the soil for three years before the trees are cut. To strengthen the wood, PlanToys® uses a special chemical-free kiln drying process.
E-Zero Glue
PlanToys® are assembled using a certified E-Zero glue in place of traditional toxic wood glue.
Water-Based, Non-Toxic Colors
PlanToys® does not use dyes containing lead or any other heavy metals. We use only safe, non-toxic water-based dyes on all of our toys.
Recycled and Recyclable Materials
PlanToys® uses recycled and recyclable material to minimize our impact on the environment.
