Key Findings

Rise of sustainability in toys and games

It is not enough for parents to just buy just a product, they want to know that it is safe for the planet. The modern consumer who cares about the environment will appreciate a toy that can be recycled or a programme that promotes sustainability.

Consumer attitudes towards plastic

Growing public concern about the environment is prompting many consumers to alter their habits. The adoption of eco-friendly packaging was one such measure that was gaining traction before the pandemic. Plastic packaging is widely seen by consumers as the least sustainable choice. 

Sustainability preferences

Toy manufacturers have begun to create products that teach children about sustainability in a fun way. The aim is to help make the world a better, safer place by cutting waste.

A better tomorrow

Many consumers care deeply about the environment, so toy manufacturers are aiming to make a significant contribution to a better, safer world by reducing the amount of plastic they use. Toy manufacturers must also work to change consumers’ “buy-and-throw” mindset.
