Green Toys is a pioneering eco-friendly toy company founded in 2007 in Sausalito, California, by entrepreneurs Laurie Hyman and Robert von Goeben, who shared a vision to merge sustainability with safe and imaginative play. Inspired by the West Coast’s early green consumerism movement, they recognized that discarded milk jugs—a major contributor to landfill waste—could be transformed into safe, durable, and high-quality toys. This innovation positioned Green Toys as one of the first companies in the world to manufacture children’s toys using 100% recycled plastic, primarily high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from post-consumer milk jugs.
Green Toys’ material innovation and sustainable practices are at the core of its identity. Since its founding, Green Toys has recycled tens of millions of milk jugs, diverting waste from landfills, reducing demand for virgin plastics, and saving energy compared to conventional plastic production. All products are BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free, with colors blended directly into the material to ensure resistance to fading, chipping, or peeling. Green Toys also eliminates unnecessary packaging waste by using 100% recyclable cardboard printed with soy-based inks, without plastic inserts, twist ties, or coatings.
Manufacturing and safety are central to the brand’s promise. Green Toys manufactures the majority of its products in the United States, maintaining close control over quality, transparency, and compliance with CPSC and ASTM toy safety standards, while also supporting domestic jobs and reducing the carbon footprint of overseas shipping. Some production occurs abroad under strict oversight, but Green Toys' emphasis remains on local, ethical, and environmentally responsible production.
The product line reflects both variety and durability. Green Toys offers classic play categories including vehicles (trucks, airplanes, tugboats, trains), role-play sets (tea sets, kitchen toys, toolkits, gardening kits), infant and toddler toys (shape sorters, stacking cups, rattles, bath toys), and STEM/outdoor play products (building blocks, sand play kits, eco-construction sets). All toys are dishwasher safe, water-friendly, long-lasting, and built for active indoor and outdoor play, ensuring that they withstand the test of time while encouraging imaginative development.
Green Toys also plays an educational role, positioning its toys as tools for “eco-education through play.” Packaging often highlights the number of milk jugs used per toy, turning everyday purchases into opportunities to teach children about recycling, sustainability, and the importance of environmental responsibility. This aligns Green Toys with the eco-parenting movement, appealing to families seeking products that reflect their values.
Today, Green Toys has a strong global presence, with distribution in more than 3,000 stores across over 90 countries. Their products are widely sold through major retailers such as Target, Walmart, Amazon, Whole Foods Market, and specialty toy shops, as well as in museum gift stores and eco-friendly boutiques. Over the years, Green Toys has won numerous awards, including the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, Dr. Toy’s Best Green Product Award, and Parents’ Choice Awards, and has been featured in sustainability case studies and parenting publications as a model of green innovation.
Green Toys’ identity is built on values of safety, innovation, education, and durability. Its mission is to show that everyday products—like toys—can be reimagined for sustainability without sacrificing fun, quality, or affordability. Often described with messages like “Everyday play made sustainable” and “Made safe in the USA from 100% recycled materials”, Green Toys continues to inspire eco-conscious families worldwide.
