Inspired by the rubberwood trees of his youth, the founder and president of Thailand-based PlanToys, Vitool Viraponsavan, earned a degree in architecture and set out to build a more sustainable world one rubberwood toy at a time. Historically, when a rubberwood tree stopped producing latex, it was burned. In 1981, PlanToys became the first company to transform these natural beauties into eco-friendly play things. The company has also created a proprietary durable composite wood called PlanWood made from reclaimed wood particles leftover from their eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
The Green Dollhouse turns green living into everyday play with a list of environmentally conscious features that inspire children’s imagination, while at the same time promote the 3 Rs—Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle. The design includes a simulated wind turbine, a solar cell panel, an electric inverter for generating electricity, a rain barrel for collecting rain, a biofacade which uses the natural cycle of plant growth to provide shading, a blind that can adjust the amount of sunlight and air circulation, as well as recycling bins.
Whether your child is playing house, cars, or airplanes, you can breathe easy knowing that PlanToys are made of organic rubberwood, e-zero glue, water-based dyes, recycled and recyclable materials, as well as soy and water-based ink with the utmost respect for our environment and our children.
