Here are a few examples of the Playsponsible items in our portfolio showcasing forward-thinking, responsible design.

Rubik’s Re-Cube

The Rubik’s Re-Cube launched in 2023 and is the same 3x3 cube millions know and love, but this version is created with sustainability in mind. The cube is made from 100% post-industrial recycled plastic. Now that the team has successfully implemented recycled ABS into this form factor, we are rolling 20% of recycled plastic into all Rubik’s Cubes going forward.

PAW Patrol Basic Vehicles

Our PAW Patrol basic vehicles were targeted for a sustainability update in 2023 given they represent a such a large volume of toys sold. Our goal was to drastically reduce the use of plastic in this item. We now use up to 80% recycled plastic in the product and the packaging is plastic free because we were able to remove the blister and replace plastic ties with paper ties.

Etch-a-Sketch

Etch a Sketch has been allowing people to express themselves for over 60 years. This year we introduced 86% recycled plastic into the item which, in 2023 alone, resulted in over 230,000 pounds of virgin plastic being avoided. The Etch a Sketch Pocket also now contains 76% recycled plastic and helped us avoid an additional 118,000 pounds of virgin plastic.
