Q: What kind of wood are your toys
made of?
All our toys are
manufactured from natural rubber wood from rubber trees that no
longer produce latex after 25 years. Three years prior to removing
those trees, farmers stop adding fertilizer to the soil in order to
save costs and ensure that all wood is free from toxins.
Q: Why do PlanToys choose to use
rubber wood?
Because pesticides
are rarely used in rubber wood plantations because the trees are not
primary targets for infestation.Farmers only use fertilizer on trees
that are 20-22 years old, after that age farmers will stop adding
fertilizer to the soil 3 years prior to removing rubber trees in
order to save cost but still tapping the latex for another 3 years.
This procedure will naturally clean up chemicals in the rubberwood
before it is used for toy production. PlanToys is the first
manufacturer of wooden toys in the world to use reclaimed rubber
wood. We upcycle the rubber trees from being burned to make wooden
toys.
Q: Is PlanToys certified by
FSC?
We are not FSC
Certified. The reason why is that we can not be FSC certified since
we don’t use forest wood. We use plantation wood from the rubber
industry which we repurpose and upcycle into toys to save them from
being burned. We are in a sustainable manufacturing class of our own
above FSC Certification.
To be FSC certified according to their guidelines, you have to
first destroy a forest and then replant. We do not believe in
destroying a natural forest to make toys. We believe in the
process of the transformation of materials of wasted or no
longer used as new materials or new products with larger amounts
and better quality (Upcycled).
