The PinBox 3000 is made in the USA, with 41% post-consumer recycled cardboard and corrugate sourced from a USA sustainably-harvested forest initiative. PinBox 3000 from the Cardboard Teck Instantute is a cardboard tabletop pinball kit featuring 39 die-cut parts and everything needed to build a customizable game. “We’re committed to manufacturing in the USA and using best-in-class materials, and we’re seeing that really resonate with our consumers.” Tilt the Future | PinBox 3000 “As more and more consumers are becoming interested in sustainability, we’re seeing parents looking at their children’s toys the way they look at food – they want to know what’s in them and where they come from,” continues Passmore. We strive to give parents an alternative to all too common wasteland of short-lived, discarded toys that can often fill up a playroom.” “Our mission has always been to provide the best products possible, and for us, that means using the safest materials that are also the most environmentally friendly. “Green Toys was started by our co-founders’ desire to create better products for children and families,” says Cameron Passmore, with Green Toys. From toy vehicles to play with in the sandbox to dough making kits, Green Toys offers a wide range of non-toxic food-safe toys and tablewares. Green Toys sets the bar for environmentally sound toys that are made from 100-percent post-consumer recycled materials that are made safe and in the USA. There are plenty of non-toxic toys that are made in ways that meet or exceed relevant safety standards. Here’s a preview of what’s hot and green when it comes to toys and games, just in time for the holiday gift-giving season. “The growth of Green Toys is just one example of an environmentally friendly company embraced by parents.” “I think people are concerned about the future, are more vocal and social media gives a platform to express concern and show shocking pictures like floating ‘islands’ of plastics in the oceans,” adds Couzin. “By 2020 Hasbro plans to reduce waste to landfill by 50 percent, energy consumption by 25 percent, greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent and water consumption by 15 percent.” “As an example, Hasbro publicly lists their goals and have been given environmental awards for their efforts,” continues Couzin. The event is the largest toy and game fair in North America and it’s open to the public on the weekend. “Toy and game manufacturers are becoming more green,” observes Mary Couzin, CEO and Founder of the Toy and Game Group which hosts the Chicago Toy and Game Fair held every year at the Navy Pier in Chicago.
I had a chance to check out the latest innovations at the Chicago Toy and Game Fair, joined by John Ivanko who covered this event previously.
Many are made in the USA, not on the other side of the Earth.

From games made from sustainably-sourced wood to toys made from recycled plastics that are free from PVC, BPA or Phthalates, the toy and game industry continues to recognize that fun toys and games for young people don’t have to destroy the planet in the process of making them or be made of potentially hazardous materials. There are plenty of more environmentally responsible toy and game options for the holidays.
