QTOYS’ PRODUCTS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY
Qtoys products are made exclusively from plantation and/or recycled timber.
Plantation rubber trees are tapped for natural latex, and 25% of the world’s latex for rubber is from this region. Old, poor producing trees are cleared to grow young ones. In the past, these trees have been left to decay, creating biological problems. Plantation rubber trees give Qtoys products the natural beauty of wooden patterns, while leaving natural forest unharmed.
A product such as EcoVoyager Recycled Tree Sailing Boat can support this kind of hands-on learning.
Acacia timber is sourced only from plantations. These plantations are critical in re-establishing of forests on degraded sites unsuitable for other agricultural uses. They are also a source of income for many low income farmers.
Coconut trees have a short useful life and are replaced regularly. To date, little use has been found for the timber, which has a beautiful texture. We have developed a “cottage” industry to produce expertly crafted toys, carefully handcrafted by our workers in the Mekong Delta, under our fair trade payment scheme.
For children exploring beautiful texture, Eco tree play set can be a meaningful addition to play.
Recycled branches of Rubber trees and Acacia trees: these branches are usually used as firewood after the whole trees are cut down. now they are carefully selected and treated to craft into beautiful pieces of play things.
Eco Doll house is another suitable option for extending this type of open-ended play.
Activities involving recycled branches of Rubber trees may pair naturally with Doll Playground Set.
