Canadian materials power new 'green' toys

摘要

In this age of toxic toy recalls, Colorado-based toy manufacturer Sprig Toys is a breath of fresh air.At the company's core is a strong environmental conscience that is predicated on doing no harm - both in terms of reduced toxicity and a lower carbon footprint - without compromising the product's integrity.The Sprig Adventure Series, a line of eco-friendly toys, were made available in toy stores throughout Canada and the U.S. just in time for the holiday season. And there is a strong Canadian element to the environmentally friendly, "kid-powered" electronic vehicles and accessories: they are manufactured using a thermoplastic biocomposite compound from a leading Canadian innovator.
