Protecting the environment, protecting the earth and greening sustainable development are becoming a global trend. Both developed countries in Europe and the United States and developing countries represented by China are constantly tightening their environmental protection policies and calling on manufacturing enterprises to choose environmentally friendly materials. Custom Toys: The Development Direction of Plastic toys
The manufacturing of conventional plastic toys emits toxic gases into the atmosphere and contributes to landfills, exacerbating environmental issues. Eco-friendly toys, on the other hand, are made from non-toxic and renewable resources such as sustainably sourced wood and bamboo. These materials are biodegradable, reducing the carbon footprint and waste generation. A study conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that plastic toys contribute significantly to the plastic waste in landfills (EPA, 2019). By choosing eco-friendly toys, parents can actively participate in reducing environmental harm and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet for future generations.
In terms of plastic toy materials, nowadays the selection of environmentally friendly materials has become an important trend in the plastic toy customization industry. Enterprises should actively use bio-based materials, recycled materials and other environmentally friendly materials to reduce carbon emissions and protect the earth’s environment.
Innovation and Creativity
Eco-friendly toys foster creativity and imagination, playing a crucial role in cognitive development. Unlike conventional toys that often come with predetermined functions and limited play value, eco-friendly toys provide open-ended play experiences. Wooden blocks, puzzles, and building sets, for example, allow children to think outside the box, experiment, and develop problem-solving skills.
Personalized customization needs gradually increase
General-purpose plastic materials can meet the requirements of the vast majority of enterprise manufacturing, but with the enhancement of China’s toy enterprises R & D and innovation strength, the performance of the material requirements are also improving, they hope to find to meet the personalized needs of the enterprise’s materials. Toy companies want to make a toy, the requirements of the strength should be increased by 30%, toughness increased by 20%, ordinary materials can not achieve these properties. At this time, Dongyuan Technology will be based on ordinary materials to enhance its performance, so that the material can meet the requirements of the enterprise. This kind of material with changed performance is called modified material, and it is also a form of personalized customized material, which can greatly enhance the product competitiveness of toy enterprises.
Eco-friendly toys often have educational components that promote learning and skill development. For instance, many eco-friendly puzzles help children enhance their problem-solving abilities and spatial awareness. Building sets and construction toys encourage logical thinking and fine motor skills. We will not only develop materials according to the needs of many toy customers, but also take the initiative to find out the industry’s pain points, and then develop materials to match the needs and solve the pain points.
Quality Control
Our factory optimizes the production process in many aspects, and improves the molding quality and dimensional accuracy of the plastic toys by improving the production process and procedure to ensure that the products have beautiful appearance, structural integrity and stable performance. Our team will arrange the final AQL 2.5 standard inspection. If the internal inspection was passed, the QC leader will submit the report to the sales team. If failed, the whole order of plastics toys will need to rework and accept re-inspections. At Dongyuan Plastics, our 3D prototyping, injection molding and other plastics manufacturing services can bring your toys and other products to life.
We insist on the whole process of quality inspection: we have established a perfect quality inspection system to carry out all-round quality inspection on plastic toys, including appearance inspection, dimensional accuracy inspection, structural integrity inspection and harmful substance inspection, etc., to ensure that the products meet the safety standards.
The future of plastic toy customization may be cross-border cooperation with other industries, such as with animation, games and other industries combined, the introduction of more creative and interesting toy products.
