ABOUT US
FunPlastic Toys seeks to encourage the next generation to fight ocean pollution, by designing a series of colorful toys made from upcycled marine plastic waste. The goal is to raise awareness for sustainability and connect children to this major environmental problem through each character’s narrative.
Aglaea the Turtle
Fofo the Seal
Panos the Pelican
Through play, children, familiarize themselves with the most common types of marine plastic waste and how it affects the ecosystem.
All toys are digitally crafted from upcycled marine plastic with the use of 3D printing. All marine plastic waste will be collected from the cruise ships that sail the Mediterranean sea. The new products are re-recyclable, hence completely circular
Lakis the Dolphin
FunPlastic Toys are a collection of sea animals, whose stomachs are full of indigestible marine plastic garbage. Each character comes with its own educational story booklet, describing its life at the sea and how it is affected by plastic pollution. With the use of a fishing rod the children can remove the plastic debris from the animals’ stomachs.
Bounis the Red Mullet
Ritsa the Octopus
Introducing children, through play, to the circular economy and raising awareness of plastic recycling will contribute to a more sustainable future and establish the framework for a more engaged society as a whole.
