At Rolf Education we take steps that contribute to sustainability. We want to make the world a better place and give children a fair and green planet. Because the toys our children play with do not only have an impact on their development but also on their future.
To address the challenges of today’s modern world and society’s growing demands for more sustainable solutions, life cycle thinking is one of the major challenges facing big industries when designing products. Similarly with us. By using Green Polyethylene, we can offer unique products made from renewable resources that make a significant contribution to reducing the level of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the chain. Green Polyethylene is a renewable alternative to polyethylene. We currently offer a number of articles that comply with this, sand moulds, buckets, sieves and scoops.
Green polyethylene is commonly made from sugar cane, beets, or wheat.
We are actively looking for ways to make our own products more environmentally friendly
Together with manufacturers, we are actively looking for eco-friendly alternatives as raw material for our products. We offer a whole range of eco-friendly sandpit materials and are busy expanding our so called ECO-Line. All sand pit materials from our ECO-Line are made from 100% biobased carbon content. In May 2023, we have updated all of our sand toys to bio-based Green Polyethylene.
By developing and producing Rolf products only in Europe, we can guarantee that we do not use or support, child labour or child exploitation. Furthermore, Rolf Education is strictly against all forms of modern slavery and human rights abuses.
