Packaging Initiatives
VTech is reducing our impact on the environment through redesigned packaging. We are also committed to eliminating fossil-based plastics in packaging, and replacing with a plant-based alternative in 99% of the electronic learning products by 2025.
Sustainable Packaging
The introduction of sustainable product packaging for VTech toys is well underway, through the use of recycled materials that are also recyclable.
