This position paper, ‘Journey Towards Sustainable Packaging for Toys’ outlines the different approaches that toy companies have undertaken to make their packaging more sustainable. It emphasizes the importance of considering the entire lifecycle of packaging, from design to end-of-life, to minimize the environmental footprint of toy companies and discusses the various stages of the packaging lifecycle, including design, material selection, sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, and disposal, and presents strategies to enhance sustainability at each phase. It contains insights, reflections and examples of such practices by the ATPA members.

This position paper advocates for the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the toy and play industry. The paper argues that manufacturers and producers must take greater responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products and packaging, including the proper disposal and recycling of toys and other play products. Under EPR, producers are responsible for the entire life cycle of their products, from production to disposal. This includes the cost of collecting, recycling, and disposing of waste products and packaging. By implementing EPR, ATPA believes the toy and play industry can reduce its environmental impact and promote a circular economy.
