Made by Nature: bamboo, cork and more

Wooden toys such as building blocks and sorting games have long been firm fixtures in countless children's playrooms. The "Made by Nature" section demonstrates that toys can also be made from many other natural materials. The range of raw materials that nature has to offer is broad and diverse, and includes products such as maize, rubber, bamboo, wool and cork.

Inspired by Nature: the plastics of the future

The "Inspired by Nature" segment likewise revolves around renewable raw materials. The production of plastics is heavily dependent on fossil resources such as oil, coal and natural gas. This product category demonstrates that there are other ways, too. It presents toys made from bio-based plastics that are environmentally friendly.

Recycle & Create: new from old

Sustainably manufactured products are at the heart of the "Recycle & Create" category. On the one hand, it showcases toys made of recycled raw materials; on the other, it focuses on creating new toy ideas with upcycling.

Discover Sustainability: learning through play

Toys can help children to understand complex situations by simplifying and clarifying them. These are the products at the forefront of "Discover Sustainability." The segment displays toys that use play to explain topics such as environment and climate, and to make children aware of the issues.

The "Toys go Green" special area in Hall 3A presents toys that are relevant to the categories of this megatrend. Four themed islands invite retailers and buyers to discover products and try them out. Additionally, the special area provides concise background information on the topic of sustainability.
