Importance of Eco-Friendly Toys - Go green with Zimpli Kids!

We believe that in today’s modern world everyone should be doing their best to help save the environment one tiny step at a time. At Zimpli Kids being green is very important to us and we believe that creating a fully eco-friendly range is the new frontier to making those small steps which will eventually help to save our planet.

What does Eco-friendly mean?
The simplest definition of eco-friendly is something that is ‘not harmful to the environment’.
​
In depth, eco-friendly means being friendly to the earth and changing the way we use our resources.
We can do this by being more conservative with our water and energy, basically living a greener lifestyle.
Also, by making more products eco-friendly this prevents harsh pollutions to water, landfills even to the air around us.

Eco-Friendly Toys
Today most retailers and manufacturers are guilty of majorly misusing plastic materials by ‘over sizing’ and ‘overusing’ plastic packaging due to the easy accessibility of it.

Due to the many years of overusing plastic materials it has had a massive effect on many businesses carbon footprints and the pollution of plastic materials being dumped into landfills, rivers and oceans causing nano and micro plastics to damage our wildlife. It is imperative that we imprint an example onto the next generation of how crucial it is not to misuse plastic materials!

More and more companies and parents alike are starting to understand the importance of this issue and are realising the fact that, ‘Plastic is not fantastic’, and that other materials can be used.  

We are determined to make a difference and save the planet one Gelli Baff at a time by becoming more and more driven to do our part in saving the environment! All of our packaging is 100% recyclable, made from recycled board and all our powders are certified biodegradable.

Going Green with Zimpli Kids
Our fabulous Zimpli team put their heads together to create our super-duper Eco-Range with our bestselling Gelli Play and Slime Play!

Recyclable Box, Leaflet and Bags
All the boxes, leaflets and bags in our Eco range are fully recyclable. We have moved from plastic bags to paper bags which can be recycled with the retail box & leaflet, in your standard paper/card recycling.

Minimum sized packaging 
We use a box that fits exactly the size of the bags, therefore, creating no excess waste materials.

Packaging made from recycled board
We have chosen to change all our retail and CDU boxes to recycled board and have a plain white background on four of the sides of the box to reduce our environmental impact.

​Certified Biodegradable Toy
Our Gelli and Slime are certified Biodegradable. Gelli Baff and Slime Baff have both passed the Bio-degradation Test OECD 301B as tested by Intertek!
