Why we need to replace Plastic Toys for Green Environment

In our 3rd post of #EnvironmentalTalks of #CauseAChatter, we will bring your focus on the toys that are an integral part of every household. According to the statistics, 70% of the toys are made of plastic and most of them are not one-time-use plastic that means toys are manufactured with materials that are difficult to recycle. Have you ever thought of recycling the toys or what happens when we discard the plastic toys and did you ever ponder upon the old plastic toys and their effects on children? 

Let us take a closer look at toys and their effect on the environment and how we can make the environment better with few changes.

Toys & their production:

Toys are produced in large numbers but India produces only 0.5% of the toys in the toy industry whereas China produces 80% of the toys in the world. The majority of the toys are plastic made and the life of it depends on the nature of the plastic and the usage of it.

Check the age of plastic toys:

We often keep toys of the elder child for the younger one and plastic toys are easy to handle and care additionally the colors don’t fade and they look as new once washed. But the older the plastic toys more harmful for your child. Earlier production of plastic toys did not go through vigorous checks on the quality of the plastic and it affects a child’s health once the child chews it. So discard all the older plastic toys which are 5-7 years older and it is good if they can be recycled.

How & Why Top Industries work towards better Environment

Change is evident in the world and the change-makers can make the change towards the betterment of society. In our previous post of #EnvironmentalTalks of #CauseAChatter, we discussed the importance of explaining the reasoning to children about the protection and care towards the environment. In this post, we shall have a closer look at the companies and industries that are working for the betterment of society plus taking decisions to revive the lost environmental areas.

Why Industries need to focus on Greener Solutions:

Industries have always been considered a major role in environmental pollution, therefore looking for a solution in this sector is the priority of the nation and the world. Industries are one of the largest growing sectors in India and with many upcoming entrepreneurs paving way for manufacturing the products on their own instead of importing. It is the responsibility of the owners to make the environment more greener with their efforts and also make sure that the industrial waste is minimum. Additionally properly dumping the industrial waste is the key aspect.
