Waste To Toys
WHAT IS RE:LINE?
The start of our sustainability journey is on!
Since 2018 we have been working hard on our sustainability and our transition to circular economy. With the launch of Ecoline, a plant-based polyethylene, derived from sugarcane ethanol, as opposed to the polyethylene from oil, and continuous work with sustainability expert Mette BakAndersen we continue to travel on this very exciting and important journey. 2023 we are proud and have the privilege to launch a new toy line made entirely of recycled plastics: RE:LINE
WHAT IS RELINE MADE OF?
RE:LINE is made from recycled plastics. Some in recycled PP, Polypropylene, and some in recycled PE, Polyethylene, depending on the qualities they toy is desired to have.
They toy only have 1 type of plastic in the entire toy. This to make it fully recyclable afterwards.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
RE:LINE uses plastic waste to prevent it from ending up in landfills or in our oceans. The recycled material comes from the recycling facility in the northern Vietnam.
Used plastics are sorted, cleaned and shredded into flakes. These flakes are the raw material for the toys.
This is then used in our factory in Southern Vietnam to produce the toys to the same high standards and quality as all our other lines.
WHAT IS RCS CERTIFICATION?
RE:LINE is certified with the RCS certification, the Recycled Claim Standard. The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third-party. It is a chain of custody standard to track recycled raw materials through the supply chain. Both our supplier of recycled material and our manufacturing factory has the certification.
Qualities
v To increase recyclability we have decrease amount of materials to only 1 type v Long lasting and high quality v Out doors & in doors v Safety certified and dishwasher safe. v Made from recycled plastic and fully recyclable.
The Future
The journey of sustainable and ethical production is one we all are on. Its a group effort! We know it takes time but we also know everyone can do their part.
We are so happy and so proud to be able to launch this line on the market under 2023. Its the result of a continues learning and hard work.
