PlanToys are the original eco toy maker leading the way in sustainable manufacturing and quality wooden toys to stimulate young children. PlanToys use rubber wood from trees that no longer produce latex and would otherwise be burnt. They also create some toys from 'eco Planwood' which is made from another waste product, the roots of the rubber trees. This sustainable wood source is then kiln dried without the use of chemicals, glued together with PlanToy's own e-zero formaldehyde free glue and dyed with water based dyes to create a wonderful selection of eco friendly wooden toys.
