The single-use plastic culture is extremely wasteful of energy and raw materials, and the recycled plastics used in children’s toys can contain many banned substances. We believe that we can use as much disposable plastic as we like, because plastic is recyclable. But 91% of plastic waste is not.. Banned substances are being reintroduced into the cycle, harming human health again and then escaping into the natural waters. Let’s recycle by swapping kids’ toys instead of throwing them away, shifting from the idea of vibrant coloured blood running though our veins to the intertwined hair of preloved Barbie dolls.
