You Asked, We Answered:
The PlanToys Sustainable Way

As PlanToys enters its 40th year of business, it’s important that our Sustainable Way be tightly knitted
our brand awareness and company story. In an effort to highlight our eco-friendly methods in a mean-
ingful way, we asked our customers for their help. Below, you’ll find 40 questions asked by families from
all over the world. Responses from our team members have been recorded and shared in hopes that
our Sustainable Way will be well known, cherished and valued by communities and families worldwide.
Let’s take a look together!

1. What was the inspiration behind starting a toy company?

Back in 1981, seven university graduates came together
with a shared desire to infuse the world with positivity.
Vitool Viraponsavan, one of the strongest voices of the
group, went on to establish PlanToys and has been inspir-
ing children and families worldwide ever since.
To this day, PlanToys operates with the belief that it’s
our job to help educate and inspire society to prioritize
environmental preservation, child safety and development.
By raising children who are self-aware, environmentally
-conscious and imaginative, it’s our hope that they will
become individuals who understand the value of life,
cherish nature, connection and play. If one small wooden
toy can help one small child become a moral person who
values the world around them, then we have proudly
done our job!

2. How does PlanToys accomplish its mission of creating

“Better Kids, Better World”?

The PlanToys mission is defined by our Sustainable Way, which encompasses the three pillars of our
business model – sustainable material, sustainable manufacturing, and sustainable mind. With these three
pillars in place, we strive to nurture kids for a better world.

5. How are PlanToys products designed? PlanToys

First, our toys are designed by working with a child specialist to determine age
appropriateness of each toy alongside its developmental-aid potential. Then
we move forward with eco-design principles that help anticipate and minimize
negative environmental impacts from manufacturing (this includes things like
sustainable materials and green production practices). As a result, parents
can be assured that PlanToys items are child-safe, and intentionally-made of the
highest quality.

6. What awards has PlanToys received?

7. Does PlanToys have toys for

all ages?

Although PlanMini is designed primarily for
preschoolers but we can also apply PlanMini toys to all
ages. These playthings are the ideal travel companion
for the whole family to enjoy! They fit snuggly in your
pocket, easily slip into a small bag and don’t take up
significant space in your luggage. They’re the perfect
toy to bring along with you anywhere!

8. What toys and types of play would PlanToys recommend for the

first 3 years of a child’s life?

Great question! Let’s take a look at the early developmental stages of a child’s life and talk about the types
of play that can support them as they hit various milestones.
Disclaimer: Below, we are simply aiming to provide guidance for parents. We do not claim to have
medical expertise and believe you should always consult with your child’s physician if you have questions or
concerns regarding your child’s development.
Newborn – 6 months
Visual and auditory stimulation as well as motor skill development are crucial during
this time! Encourage your baby to focus on objects with their eyes by stimulating them
visually with the PlanToys Play Gym or Mobile. Toys that rattle, jingle and make gentle
sounds can stimulate a baby’s auditory cortex; and toys that encourage motor skill
development — encouraging babies to reach, grasp and kick — can help strength-
en them physically. As a newborn progresses, start looking at colorful pictures and
reading stories together; look into mirrors and start to explore sensory play!

6 – 12 months
At this stage, babies start to further develop fine and gross motor skills — sitting up
and starting to walk on their own! Sensory toys like the PlanToys Sensory Tumbling
encourage sensory development and also improve fine motor skills. Movable toys like
the Baby Car encourage vocalization and concentration. And, as your baby starts to
take their first steps, the Walk N Roll or Bird Walker can support their mobility! Finally,
simple puzzles, floating bath toys and active free-play toys invite babies to begin their
journey of learning through play.
12 – 18 months
During this stage, little ones are developing their muscles and listening skills quickly. They
are now able to hold themselves up and balance on their own, so push-and-pull toys are
great options! Encourage your baby to practice hammering or pounding with the Hammer
Balls; and also stimulate their senses through musical toys with the Oval Xylophone or
Clatter! During this time, children are also starting to further develop social, emotional and
intellectual skills, so toys that introduce them to different shapes, colors, sizes and patterns
are beneficial. Explore the Chicken Nesting or Stacking Wheels, our wooden block sets,
My First Camera or My First Phone!

18 months – 2 years
Support children as they strengthen their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination during
this stage with toys that invite them to grab, stack, sort, push and pull. Additionally,
toys that emotionally stimulate — like the Solid Drum or Concertina — help children
express themselves creatively. This is also a crucial time to introduce educational
toys like the Stacking Ring or Sort N Count Cups as these playthings intellectually
stimulate little ones and help them develop basic math and language skills early on.
2 – 3 years
At this stage, challenging a child’s gross motor skills, social and emotional development,
and creativity are extra important! Toys that stimulate a child intellectually like the Geo-
metric Sorting Board, Shape Sorter, Alphabet A-Z and Gears & Puzzle invite them to
learn through play. Furthermore, pretend play toys like the Kitchen Set or Stand Mixer
Set can assist children in their creativity and imaginative thinking. All of these toys also
invite children to play actively!

9. Does PlanToys have any toys

that require batteries?

No, our toys do not require batteries. Our toy design
concept focuses on nurturing physical, emotional, social
and intellectual development in children. We encourage
kids to use their imagination to play and interact with
our toys instead of relying on a toy’s function to provide
entertainment or stimulation. As a result, children expe-
rience the full potential of play and learn how to better
navigate the world and their relationships authentically.

10. Does PlanToys sell

Montessori toys?

Our toys are not marked as “Montessori
toys”, but we design and manufacture
our toys with the Montessori method at
top of mind. As a Montessori-inspired toy
manufacturer, we believe that children
should have the freedom to self-direct while
playing — using their creativity, imagina-
tion and bodies to express themselves. This
gives children the freedom to both learn and
develop while making mistakes, problem
solving and learning along the way.

11. What makes PlanToys’ items unique?

We believe that what sets us apart most from other brands is our attention to detail. We intentionally consider
every single step in our design, production and shipment process. By doing so, families around the world can
see and feel the quality of our toys while also feeling good about the passion behind our sustainable mission.

• Premium-grade materials and intentionally-selected
resources result in quality toys that don’t harm the
environment.
• Simple designs make our toys classic, durable and
timeless.
• We use non-toxic, water-based dyes that maintain
the texture of our wooden toys — keeping them as
close to their original nature as possible.
• Premium-grade materials result in quality toys that
don’t harm the environment.

12. Does PlanToys cut down trees in order to produce toys?

We have never cut down a single tree for production! Instead, we add value to rubber trees by using them to
their fullest potential. Typically, when rubber trees no longer produce latex, they are cut down and burned. This is
where we come in! We take these rubber trees and use the rubberwood for our wooden toys. In 1981, we became
the first company to do so. Let’s take a look at the lifespan of a rubber tree for a little more clarity:

The lifespan of a rubber tree:
• 0-5 years: Seedlings grow into small rubber trees.
• 2 5-25 years: During this time, farmers harvest latex.

A rubber tree is typically valued because of its latex,
which is priced higher than rubberwood.
• 5 years and beyond: Three years prior to removing
rubber trees, farmers will stop adding fertilizer to
the soil in order to save cost. This procedure naturally
cleans up chemicals in the rubberwood before it is
used for our toy production.

13. Do we meet the requirements of FSC

standards?

Since 70% of Trang province is made up of rubber plantations, we
don’t have to artificially invade forests to grow rubber trees. Instead,
the rubber trees that we use originate from village plantations on
private property; and because of this, we are not utilizing rubber
plantations within the forestry. So, technically, this process does not
directly match the FSC criteria verbatim. However, PlanToys always
intentionally considers every single step of production and manufac-
turing. We are extremely passionate about minimizing our environ-
mental impact and incorporate sustainable practices like eco-design
principals, carbon footprint calculation, the use of non-toxic materials,
green energy production, environmental volunteer programs and
much more.
As a toy manufacturer, in addition to designing toys that help enhance
a child’s development, we also feel as though it’s our duty to take care
of the environment and contribute to society in a positive way. We’ve
been doing this for nearly 40 years and promise to continue to do so!

14. What is the purpose of ASTM and EN71

safety standards?

Since 1982, all PlanToys products have exceeded international safety stan-
dards — including ASTM (USA) and EN71 (Europe) — to ensure that our toys
are safe for children worldwide.

15. If a child has a rubber allergy,

can they play with PlanToys?

Typically, a rubber allergy is triggered by a protein that’s
found in latex. And, because latex is not present in the rub-
ber wood that we use as material, children with a rubber
allergy can safely play with PlanToys items without concern.
As for PlanToys items that use 100% natural rubber for
material, latex remains present — which could trigger an
allergic reaction. It is recommended that parents consult
with their child’s pediatrician before purchasing a rubber
toy for them.

16. Is it okay for children to put

PlanToys toys in their mouths?

At PlanToys, we‘re creating toys with unique
signature designs while always keeping the
environment at top of mind. We also feel passionate
about child safety and continue to exceed safety
standard requirements. Because we know that
children like to put toys in their mouths, we use
pigments and materials that are safe for children
to come in contact with. Examples of these include
safe water-based colors and organic pigments in
PlanWood products, and a nontoxic adhesive called
E-Zero glue.

17. How are counterfeit products

different from genuine PlanToys
products?

We have been manufacturing wooden toys for nearly 40
years with the intention of promoting child development,
environmental action and child safety. Unfortunately, we’ve
recently noticed that there are many toy manufacturers who
are imitating PlanToys products and selling them openly. For
safety reasons, w e would like to remind our customers to
check these products carefully for quality (look at the quality
of the wood, any paint chipping or abnormal smell, etc.)
These products also do not meet the same safety standards
that PlanToys items do.
As a company that values honesty, community and product
quality, we want to encourage our customers to beware of
these toy and company imitations. From the outside, these
toys may seem very similar to PlanToys products. However,
we can assure you that our materials, production process,
devotion to the environment, child development and safety
will forever set us apart!

18. Is the glue used in PlanWood

toy production toxic?

Even though we use glue in the process of making
PlanWood, the extrusion process with heat resulted
in the hazardous volatiles contaminated with glue
evaporate completely. This makes PlanWood prod-
ucts safe from harmful chemicals. Children can play
with PlanWood toys without any worry!

19. Can PlanWood products be played with in water?

Not every PlanWood product is waterproof! Our toys that
are waterproof and safe for submerging in liquid are
categorized into our Water Play category. Customers can
look for the icon pictured above on their PlanToys package
to determine if the toy is waterproof or not. If the icon is not
present, then the toy should not be submerged in water. Only
PlanToys items with the shown icon are safe for water play!
Furthermore, even if the toy is a product in the Water Play
category, it should not soak in water for more than 24 hours.
Take care of your toys to maintain their quality!
Here are a few tips:
• Dry your toys. When finished playing, wipe your toys down
and let them dry out completely before storing them away to
avoid bacteria growth.
• Avoid storing your toys in high temperatures or direct
sunlight. Keep them in good shape and maintain their quality
so that when your child has outgrown the toys, you can pass
them down to another little one for them to enjoy!

20. What are some tips for taking care of PlanToys playthings?

Our wooden toys should be cleaned often and stored in safe spaces to ensure quality. If you take proper
care of them, they can last a lifetime! Here are a few tips and tricks:

• Every time your child finishes playing, use a damp
cloth to wipe their toys down. Use a dry cloth to
completely dry the toys off.
• Avoid using cleaning products that contain chem-
icals and artificial fragrances. Instead, use natural
cleaning agents like apple cider vinegar combined
with water and your favorite essential oil. Keep a
spray bottle filled with this mixture and use whenever
needed!
• Avoid storing your toys in high temperatures or
direct sunlight.
• Regularly check your toys for cracks or damages.
• Water play toys should not be soaked in water for
more than 24 hours. Use a clean cloth to wipe them
dry after playing and then set them in a neutral
environment to dry completely before storing away.

21. How has PlanToys adapted its safety measures to COVID-19?

It’s very important to us that our shop and Forest of Play
Museum items are kept optimally clean — especially during this
season of COVID-19. Currently, daily disinfectant is sprayed on
every toy and item in the Forest of Play Museum and PlanToys
Toy Library. Additionally, staffs and customers are required to
take their temperature measured and sanitize their hands upon
entry at the shop. Masks must be worn at all times by everyone,
and we encourage shoppers to use credit/debit cards or QR
codes for payment instead of cash to avoid cross-handling.
Just like you, we’re doing our very best to prevent the spread
of the illness. We are all in this together!

22. Are PlanToys items biodegradable?

Because PlanToys playthings are made from rubberwood, they are primarily biodegradable. Although
it would take many years, many years for a wooden toy to decompose, it is the natural process! We use
non-toxic dyes and zero chemicals, so the wood is safe for the earth in the end.
However, tiny parts in some of our toys are made from metal or plastic in order to ensure a toy’s
durability. These pieces are not biodegradable but can be recycled. We’re still looking for better materials
to replace these small metal and plastic pieces!

23. Are all parts in PlanToys’

products safe and non-toxic?

Although there are some toy parts that cannot be pro-
duced at our factory because of their unique properties
but we are still concern about safety. Every now and then,
we source other parts externally and ensure that they
have matched our safety standards and are free from
harmful chemicals. There should be no concern about
these pieces as they are absolutely safe, non-toxic and
child friendly!

24. Why does PlanToys include a carbon footprint icon

on its packaging?

2.10 Our passion for sustainability is something that we like to be transparent and vocal
about. This is why we calculate our carbon footprint and share it on each PlanToys
kg package! By reducing the amount of greenhouse gas produced during toy produc-
tion, we hold ourselves accountable to our sustainable business operations and
CO eco-friendly manufacturing methods. Sharing company facts like our carbon footprint
with customers is in an effort to inspire them to live sustainably, too!

25. How does PlanToys calculate its carbon footprint?

At PlanToys, we calculate the amount of greenhouse gas that is released from the arrival of our raw materials
at the factory to the final packaging of our toys for shipment (from gate to gate). We hope to better represent
our passion for sustainability and set a standard for environmentally-friendly practices by doing so.

Reference to the principle of carbon footprint calculation of Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization)

The Boundaries of a Carbon Footprint Calculation
“From cradle to gate”: This boundary considers all activities — starting with raw material extraction, the
transfer of materials to the factory, through production and ending with the product ready to leave the
factory gate.
“From gate to gate”: This calculation includes the amount of greenhouse gas that is released from the
arrival of the raw materials at the factory, through production and ending with the product ready to leave
the factory gate.
“From cradle to grave”: This method covers the whole life cycle of a product — from raw material
extraction and transfer to the factory, through production and consumption, to waste or discard.

26. How is PlanToys’ new packaging

different from the old one?

In addition to the carbon footprint icon that specifies the amount
of greenhouse gas that is released from our production process,
product placement is now more organized inside each PlanToys
package. You’ll find that there are now dividers in between
pieces so each part can fit inside properly. We have also taken
a deeper look at our use of paper resources. In order to reduce
waste, we now take paper from old packaging boxes that
haven’t been manufactured and use it for new packages. We
are continuing to develop our production methods and products
based on our business philosophy of sustainability and hope that
you find these environmental changes encouraging for the future
of your children!

Solar Energy 27. Does PlanToys use

BiogEnaesrgy renewable energy at the factory?

EneBrgi oyma s s We try to use alternative clean energy as often as
possible. Solid biomass (like surplus wood pieces
from production) is burned to produce a bio-fu-
el that produces the heat we use in PlanWood
creation. We also use solar energy and food
waste from the factory produce biogas, a
renewable energy used for cooking in our canteen.

28. Where does PlanToys

source its materials from?

73% of the materials we use to produce our toys
are taken from a 30-kilometer radius surrounding
our factory in Southern Thailand’s province of
Trang. We source materials from areas nearby to
reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint
from transportation.

29. Are PlanToys items

plastic-free?

Recyclable plastic parts are used less than 10% of the
time during our toy production. And, when they are, it’s
because there are some parts that are much better off
as plastic than wood. For example, rubber wheels are
used in some toys because they are more durable and
transparent than wood, and acrylic sheets are used for
our Water Blocks because they are see-through and
allow children to see the colors of the water inside. We
believe that using plastic to improve a toy’s functionality
is appropriate and doesn’t go against our sustainable
mission. After all, each step of PlanToys’ toy design and
production is done intentionally, carefully and safely!

30. What happens to leftover materials and waste in the factory?

We deeply value the natural resources that we use throughout
production, so we don’t let leftover resources go to waste. We
use rubberwood sawdust to create PlanWood, while larger
pieces are used as fuel to produce heat energy for production
in our factory. And even food waste from the cafeteria is used
to make biogas and feed our company compost.

Additionally, we have measures in place to reduce the use of
foam and single-use plastics. The utensils we use in our
cafeteria and co-operative shop are all reusable; and we
recently distributed portable water bottles and tote
bags to support employees in their sustainable
lifestyles. After focusing on these sustainable
methods for over a year, the amount of
waste in the factory has decreased
significantly. More importantly, the
overall environment in our factory
has become healthier!

31. Does PlanToys repair customers’

broken toys?

We currently have a toy clinic located at our headquarters in Thai-
land that provides customers with an outlet for toy maintenance
and repair. We know how important it is to parents to maintain
toy quality and care for their children! This is why we design
toys that are intended to last a lifetime when cared for properly.
If a customer need a PlanToys item repaired, they can bring it to
the PlanToys Shop in Bangkok. Here, we repair it free of charge!
If a replacement piece is needed, we only charge for the part(s).
If you aren’t located in Thailand, you can always contact our
customer care team for assistance at
www.plantoys.com/contact-us.

32. How does PlanToys contribute to the community?

By purchasing rubber trees from nearby plantations, PlanToys directly supports the local economy in Trang
province. Additionally, we hire locals to help us complete some of the features on our toys — like our doll
clothing, for example. Regularly, we host volunteer activities to collect waste and keep surrounding neigh-
borhoods clean. In cooperation with the Yan Ta Khao District and police station, these activities are reinforced
and encouraged throughout the community — inviting locals and other community members to participate
and join in on our efforts. We recognize that these actions may seem small or simple, but we believe that,
over time, they impact the environment and community in a big way!

33. What does PlanToys do to ensure employee satisfaction?

We believe that our employees’ happiness is partially our responsibility. After all, they are practically family!
Whether it’s implementing the use of chemical-free materials, practicing safer manufacturing methods, of-
fering support through a credit union, creating more job opportunities via a cooperative shop or encouraging
employees in their financial and mental wellness, we see everything that we do internally as a chance to
build our employees up and add to the quality of their lives. This is why we’ve implemented various activi-
ties to nourish the bodies and minds of our employees — including rice planting, vegetable cultivation, and
gardening for consumption of clean and nutritious foods. This helps raise awareness about the value of
resources within our community while also supporting sustainable living through a shared cultivation space.
By supporting our employees in their health, we know that we can play a role in their happiness; and ulti-
mately, that’s what we care about most. Happy employees lead to happy families and children, which result
in a happier, healthier world!

34. Does PlanToys have playthings for children with

special needs?

We live in a diverse society that encompasses a range of personalities, interests, hobbies and strengths.
Because of this, we produce toys that encourage ALL children to learn and develop in a variety of ways.
In 2010, we established the Mom-Made Toys Project as a way to give back to society. In collaboration with
Lowe Thailand and mothers of children with special needs, PlanToys designed and produced a series of
toys to help enhance the development of children with cerebral palsy, autism and visual impairment. The
following year, we released the Build-a-Robot to specifically support the needs of children with autism. The
robot invites children to explore their emotions through sensory development and communication practice.
This toy is still on sale today!

35. What projects have been

completed in the past year that
benefit society?

Forest of Play
What started as a playable museum in 2019 has
transformed into a full exhibition at PlanNeramit
building at Sathorn 10. Today, this play space is
known as the Forest of Play Museum, a quality play
area that promotes child development and invites
families to spend intentional time together.
Toy Library
Sharing toys is a wonderful way to encourage
sustainable living within a community, and this is
exactly why we launched the PlanToys Toy Library!
PlanNeramit hosts this online platform to encourage
families to borrow and swap PlanToys playthings.
All toys are thoroughly cleaned with food-grade
sanitizers and examined for wear and tear after
each borrowing — ensuring child safety. This
helps families save money and also inspires
environmentally-conscious living.

Bangkok 36. Where is the Forest of Play located?
Trang
The Forest of Play can be found in both Bangkok at PlanNeramit
Building at Soi Sathorn 10. We’re also currently expanding the Forest
of Play by nearly 64,000 square meters (around 15 acres) in Trang
Province! We’ve intentionally designed the new play experience to
feel like a real forest atmosphere, and we expect the grand opening
to take place in April of 2021.

37. Does PlanToys have special projects that related to the toy ded-

icated to its mission of “Better Kids, Better World”?

In 2018, we partnered with Kromkommer, a Dutch social enterprise, to
launch the Wonky Fruit & Vegetables set in hopes that we could help
children better understand the importance of conscious consumption
and minimizing food waste. For every Wonky Fruit & Vegetables
set purchased, €1 is distributed to Kromkommer for participation in
activities surrounding food waste. This year, we’ll be distributing
a total of € 3,014 (USD 3,684)! We hope that special projects like this one
encourage families and children to join us in living more intentionally,
and understanding diversity.

38. As PlanToys enters its 40th year of business, what projects are

on the horizon?

PlanNeramit as a Social Enterprise
At PlanToys, sustainability and child development are our top priorities. Our desire to foster “Better Kids,
Better World” has been our mission for nearly 40 years. This is why we’re turning PlanNeramit into a social
enterprise — with the main goal of supporting children in their learning and play environments. By using
profits from business, we’ll be able to expand our Sustainable Way to reach children all over the world in a
variety of new ways.
PlanToys 40th Anniversary Book
We’re currently working on putting together a book that tells the story of PlanToys in detail (all 40 years in-
cluded!). This will be a creative way for people to learn about our journey and Sustainable Way. We expect
to release this creation at the end of 2021.
PlanToys Toy Museum
In addition to the Forest of Play that we are building in Trang Province, we are also planning to create a toy
museum to exhibit and tell the story of PlanToys’ 40-year journey. The museum will also highlight toys and
play ideas from around the world. As a space to explore “learning through play” in a variety of cultures,
the PlanToys Museum will expose visitors to our story while sharing the significant pieces of inspiration that
have guided us in our journey.

39. What does the concept

“learning through play” mean?

Play is a child’s work; they gain so much by
exploring life through it! By playing creatively and
freely, children develop physically, emotionally,
socially, intellectually and imaginatively. There isn’t
a single aspect of a child’s learning that isn’t im-
pacted by free play. Our toys are designed to help
kids develop at every stage. So, “learning through
play” implies that children can further develop and
grow with PlanToys playthings in front of them.

40. What is “Sustainable Play”?

We define Sustainable Play as “a way of improving life through play and fostering positivity in oneself, society
and environment.”
Play that is beneficial to oneself is play that helps one develop emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually.
Play that is beneficial to society is play that encourages people to better themselves through volunteer work,
nature and relationship.
Play that is beneficial to the environment is play that nurtures one’s relationship with nature — encouraging
them to live in an eco-friendly and positive way.

Play is just as important during the
first year of a child’s life as it is during
the years to follow! As babies start
to learn to express themselves, track
movement, develop fine motor skills
and sit up on their own, it’s crucial
for them to be supported with toys
that encourage these developmental
milestones. Toys that rattle, move when
pushed or pulled, have various textures
and stimulate the five senses make up
the PlanToys Baby category. Let PlanToys
be a part of your little one’s life from the
very beginning!
