Changing the game
The toy industry is booming—with over $21 billion in sales in 2018 alone—and so is its environmental footprint. Roughly 90% of toys are made from plastic, a material chosen for its low cost and bright appeal. But that convenience comes at a cost: plastic toys contribute significantly to the growing tide of waste in landfills and oceans.
While toys aren’t single-use, they often linger in homes for a decade or more before entering the waste stream. And when they do, they’re rarely recyclable—recycled plastics can’t be reliably used in toy manufacturing due to chemical safety concerns. That means most toys, no matter how briefly enjoyed, end up polluting the planet for generations.
At Turtleball, we believe what’s used for minutes shouldn’t harm the ocean for years. That’s why we’re flipping the script—literally. By crafting our game from real coconut shells and plastic-free materials, we’re proving that sustainability and play can go hand in hand. We’re not just making a game—we’re making a statement.
It’s time to change how beach games are made. For a greener future. For a cleaner ocean. For the sea turtles.
