PLAYMOBIL Collaborates with PAPACKS® to Introduce Sustainable Packaging for Advent Calendars
PLAYMOBIL, the renowned toy company, is making strides towards sustainability with their latest eco-friendly innovation. In collaboration with PAPACKS®, Europe’s leading producer of molded fiber packaging, PLAYMOBIL has introduced a new line of Advent calendars made entirely from renewable materials. This move marks a significant step towards PLAYMOBIL’s goal of becoming more environmentally responsible.
Tahsin Dag, Founder & CEO of PAPACKS®, says, “Our partnership with PLAYMOBIL is a testament to our commitment to a sustainable future. Our fiber-based trays, made from renewable resources, offer an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic. We hope this collaboration inspires other companies to join us in the shift towards a plastic-free economy.”
Since the beginning of this year, over 90% of materials used in PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR sets have been biobased plastics. These plastics follow a circular economy approach, using byproducts from food or paper production. The new materials used in the product line for children aged 1 to 4 maintain PLAYMOBIL’s trusted quality – safe for children, durable, and easy to clean. The packaging also features recycled cardboard, and the new molded fiber inlays, crafted from renewable raw materials, are food-safe and child-friendly.
The new PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR Advent Calendar Snowy Christmas (Item No.: 70297) is now available at all retailers selling toys. This Advent calendar features a reindeer plane with three attachable and combinable elements, six stackable footstep stones with control images on the underside, nine woodland animals, a Christmas tree with hidden compartments, a spinning star, two angels and Santa Claus. The dimensions of the reindeer plane (without figures) are approximately 23.5 x 12 x 5.5 cm, while the Christmas tree measures about 10 x 5.5 x 13.5 cm.
