Sustainable Products:
At Hasbro, we believe it’s our obligation to leave the world a better place than we found it. We challenge ourselves every day to find new ways to embed sustainability throughout our business, from manufacturing, logistics and operations to our packaging and our products.
Guided by our belief that every day is a chance to do better, in 2018 we introduced the first-in-the-industry toy recycling program and last year committed to eliminate virtually all plastic in packaging for new products by the end of 2022, building on our decade-long journey to create a more sustainable future for our business and our world.
This month, we are introducing Mr. Potato Head Goes Green, the first Hasbro product made with plant-based plastic and virtually plastic-free packaging. This new item marks the first step in Hasbro’s commitment to making more sustainable products through the use of renewable materials. The learnings will inform the development of future toys and games as we explore the use of recycled and renewable materials across our portfolio of iconic brands like MONOPOLY, PLAYSKOOL, NERF and PLAY-DOH.
Mr. Potato Head Goes Green
Mr. Potato Head has been a childhood staple for more than 65 years and has consistently evolved to reflect the play patterns and values of today’s kids and families. The character has a long history of changing with the times, from surrendering his pipe as part of the Great American Smokeout in 1987, to giving up his “couch potato” lifestyle and receiving a Presidential Sports Award from the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in 1992, and more recently receiving a makeover and sprouting new legs in 2011. As Hasbro continues to evolve its product line, lessen its impact on the environment, and move toward more sustainable materials, we are beginning with Mr. Potato Head, one of Hasbro’s most iconic characters.
Mr. Potato Head Goes Green is available at Whole Foods Market starting this month and is also available on Amazon.
