80% of children’s toys end up in landfill or in the sea after being after being used for an average of six months. Toys are difficult to recycle as they can contain materials that cannot be be easily separated. Carrickmacross Toy Library aims to address this environmental challenge through a sustainable toy lending service.
The organisation is a non-profit aiming to promote play for children aged 0-6 by enabling families to borrow not buy quality, sustainably sourced toys.
