00:09This is the story of how to turn plastic into playful.
00:16Green toys are made in the USA with 100% recyclable materials, like milk jugs.
00:22The average toy uses five milk jugs to create.
00:26It all starts here at a processing plant where they are shredded, filtered, and cleaned.
00:31The milk jug flakes are then sorted for color and are re-processed into pellets.
00:36This is where the fun starts!
00:39Let's go and play!
00:45At another factory, the recycled material is mixed with the food-safe coloring, melted
00:50at a high temperature, and injected into a mold.
00:53A different mold is used for each individual piece.
00:57All of the pieces are then assembled.
01:00No glue, screws, paint, or metal are used.
01:05And that's how you make your basic trash into toy treasure.
