Environmental Policy

As part of an exciting range of great quality educational toys and games for children from 0-15 years, Flying Penguin stocks products carefully chosen with the environment in mind. Flying Penguin visitors will find toys and games that were made from recycled or sustainable materials, and manufactured in a way that respects the environment, are made locally or directly support impoverished communities. And very few will need batteries!

Sourcing toys made with genuine environmental consideration is challenging because so many elements contribute to the assessment of environmental impact. For example, a true environmental analysis will consider the distance the product has travelled, how it has travelled, what the product and packaging is made of, whether the product is toxic to the environment (including children), the practices of the manufacturer and so on.

At Flying Penguin, we undertake to remain well informed about the industry and continuously update stock as new environmentally-friendly products enter the market.
