Abstract
Plastics pollution is a pressing global concern that needs to be resolved quickly as it can cause a serious damage to the earth due to the plastics’ inability to be decomposed safely. In this matter, plastic toys play a very big role as one of the main contributors in worsening this issue. In fact, plastic toys constitute 6% of all plastic found in landfills and to make things worse, even the production of it releases all sorts of toxic emissions into the atmosphere. Thus, it has led us to create this project called EarthSmart Toys. The primary goal of the making of this product is to mitigate the amount of plastic consumption and to make toys that are chemically safer for both children and environment. EarthSmart Toys will be made fully from plant-based materials, including glycerine and food wastes. Additionally, our product will also be beneficial to the nature upon disposals as it can also act as a fertilizer to the soil and reduce the impact on nature. Furthermore, this product can be mainly commercialized to the parents, kindergartens, and other child-centric establishments. In conclusion, EarthSmart Toys can be used to tackle plastic pollution as it can help to reduce plastic wastes and the emission of toxic gases to the atmosphere.
