PLAYMOBIL is staying true to its sustainability strategy with a new eco-friendly innovation. The latest PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR Advent Calendar ditches plastic for renewable materials from PAPACKS®, Europe’s leading producer of molded fiber packaging. This innovative solution eliminates single-use plastic from PLAYMOBIL’s toddler Advent calendars, marking a significant step towards comprehensive sustainability.
Tahsin Dag, Founder & CEO of PAPACKS®, says:
“Our collaboration with PLAYMOBIL is a bold statement for a sustainable future. Our fiber-based trays, made from renewable resources, offer a cutting-edge, eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic. This not only ensures a sustainable holiday season but also inspires other companies to embrace the shift toward a plastic-free economy.”
Since the start of this year, over 90% of materials used in all PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR sets have been made from biobased plastics. These plastics follow a circular economy approach, using byproducts from food or paper production. The new materials in the product line for children aged 1 to 4 maintain PLAYMOBIL’s trusted quality—safe for children, durable, and easy to clean. The packaging also features recycled cardboard, and the new molded fiber inlays, crafted from renewable raw materials, are food-safe and child-friendly.
With this sustainable packaging solution for the Advent calendar trays, PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR and PAPACKS® are ensuring that the holiday season can be enjoyed in an eco-conscious way—while toddlers explore a world of fun.
