PAPACKS® Creates Sustainable Trays for PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR Advent Calendar

PLAYMOBIL Announces New Eco-Friendly Innovation in Latest JUNIOR Advent Calendar

On Wednesday, September 25, 2024, PLAYMOBIL, a global leader in the toy industry, revealed its latest sustainability effort with the launch of the PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR Advent Calendar. This innovative product marks a significant step towards comprehensive sustainability as it ditches plastic for renewable materials from PAPACKS®, Europe’s leading producer of molded fiber packaging.

Tahsin Dag, Founder & CEO of PAPACKS®, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “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.”

The Advent calendar trays, aimed at toddlers aged 1 to 4, feature new molded fiber inlays made from renewable raw materials. These trays are not only food-safe and child-friendly, but also eco-conscious, making them the perfect choice for families looking to celebrate the holidays in an environmentally-friendly way.

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, utilizing byproducts from food or paper production. The new materials in the product line maintain PLAYMOBIL’s trusted quality – safe for children, durable, and easy to clean. The packaging also features recycled cardboard, further reducing its environmental impact.

The new PLAYMOBIL JUNIOR Advent Calendar, titled Snowy Christmas (Item No.: 70297), is now available for purchase at all major toy retailers.

Product highlights of the calendar include a reindeer plane with three attachable and combinable elements, six stackable footstep stones with control images on the underside, nine woodland animals, a Christmas tree with hidden compartments, a spinning star, two angels, and Santa Claus. The dimensions of the reindeer plane (without figures) are approximately 23.5 x 12 x 5.5 cm, while the Christmas tree measures approximately 10 x 5.5 x 13.5 cm.

PLAYMOBIL has been a household name for over 50 years, delivering quality, innovation, and genuine value to consumers. With over 3.8 billion figures produced since 1974, PLAYMOBIL’s award-winning play worlds are available in over 100 countries worldwide.
