The composition of plastic toys TM Tigres
The toys by Ukrainian manufacturer are made of safe raw material and are detail checked at all stages of production. The raw materials used by the manufacturer are polypropylene, polyethylene and dyes used in the food industry.
Polypropylene is used for the production of:
- food packaging
- medical devices
- household goods
- toys
Polypropylene is a non-toxic, safe and durable material, resistant to weather conditions and temperature changes. Bright colors of toy parts provide non-toxic dyes used by the manufacturer. You can drink and eat from TM Tigres toy dishes, and feed the baby with spoons from the set during the first feeding.
Toys' details are made without harm to the environment on special automatic molding machines. Under the action of high temperatures, in a few seconds, with the help of a mold, the machine forms a part without any fumes and toxins. Colored stickers on products are applied by means of modern IML (In-Mold Labeling) technology, and they are safe for children, resistant and durable.
Tigres has started the production of eco-friendly toys. The Elfiki toy series is made of bioplastic.
Bioplastic is a high-density polyethylene, which is 94% composed of sugar cane, a renewable raw material. That's why I'm green polyethylene absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during production, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
However, toys made of bioplastics have the same properties as toys made of traditional plastic.
