Environmentally Friendly Toy Materials

WHEAT STRAW

Wheat straw is the remaining stem and leaf part of wheat after threshing. It has many uses, such as organic fertilizer, feed, industrial raw materials, etc. Among them, wheat straw and polymer resin can be transformed into degradable plastics after special process compounding, which not only has similar properties to ordinary thermoplastics, but also can be processed into products by injection molding equipment, and is more environmentally friendly.

At present, most of the products using wheat straw as raw materials are daily necessities such as lunch boxes, tableware, toothbrushes, etc. The scope of application in toys is relatively small, but there are also cases. For example, Nuki’s wheat straw building blocks use wheat straw as raw material, and the organic wheat straw is molded by hot pressing, and the blocks made exude a natural wheat fragrance. In addition, this building block has better shapeability and can withstand high temperatures of 120°C. Since the raw materials are environmentally friendly and degradable, if the building blocks are placed in the soil, they will decompose by themselves.
