For Eco Friendly

We are gradually taking steps to incorporate eco-friendly materials into our magnet pieces, accessories, and packaging. This includes gradually replacing PVC with TPE, a biodegradable material that has a lower impact on the environment. Using recycled plastic in our products also helps reduce carbon emissions.

Reduction of Global warming potential

The use of recycled plastic could reduce global warming potential by up to 38 percent, as it significantly reduces carbon emissions.

For Zero Waste

We are also working towards a zero-waste future by reducing the amount of inner filling materials and switching to recyclable paper-based materials in our packaging. By utilizing sustainable resources, we aim to help improve environmental issues and create a greener future.

Explanation of Terms

(1)Recycled Materials

Magformers magnet pieces are currently made of ABS, a synthetic resin that is heat and damage-resistant compared to typical plastic. In the near future, using recycled plastic in the production of Magformers can not only help increase the utilization of waste plastic, but also reduce carbon emissions, contributing to environmental protection.

(2)PVC

PVC, Polyvinyl Chloride, can contain environmental hormones and disrupt the endocrine system. Although Magformers uses certified PVC that does not detect Phthalate plasticizers, there is still a risk of harmful substances during production and disposal. To mitigate these risks, Magformers is planning to switch to TPE, a thermoplastic material.

(3)TPE

TPE is a thermoplastic material like TPR and TPU and considered eco-friendly due to the lack of toxic substances and the absence of the need for plasticizers during production.

(4)FSC

FSC certification is a widely recognized, strict standard that helps ensure the long-term protection of forests and reduce negative impacts on the environment and communities. With FSC label on the product, the whole process can be traced from the forest to the consumer.

(5)Blister

Blister is a plastic packaging material that is molded to the shape of the product.
Magfomers used to use PVC blister but has been switching to PET blister since 2020 and also has a plan to implement more sustainable packing ways.
