Sustainability of educational toys

With the more frequent social and economic life of people, the resource problems caused by the use of a large number of products are also more prominent. The application of sustainable design concepts is an important way to solve this problem. Based on the consideration of design ethics and the attention to the current situation of environmental resources in human life, sustainable design concepts gradually penetrate human life and reshape social values and lifestyles. There are currently a wide variety of children's toys in my country. As children grow older, the freshness of toys gradually diminishes, and many used toys are no longer used or even discarded. In terms of material, toys are mostly plastic, resulting in a waste of resources. At present, the development of children's products has broad prospects. Based on the concept of sustainable design, children's educational toy products should be developed scientifically and rationally. The following are the matters related to the sustainable design of educational toys.

Sustainable design principles for educational toys

One is the principle of ecological sustainability. The principle of ecological sustainability includes all aspects of the production, manufacturing, and recycling of children's educational toys. Before the production design, the sustainability of educational toys, the environmental protection of materials, and processing and painting are considered to make the entire production chain sustainable; The second is the principle of economic sustainability. Educational toys should also consider the production cost of the product while taking into account the function. The design should be aimed at most people. The high cost of toys must be a product with high energy consumption, which will affect the purchase of toys. The purchasing power of residents has increased significantly, but the economic growth model is changing from extensive to intensive.

The sustainable design approach for educational toys

For sustainable behavioral design, human behavior is the root cause of environmental problems. Based on psychological research, unconscious behaviors are divided into unconscious sustainable behaviors and unsustainable behaviors. Through case studies, designers can observe and study extreme user behaviors, help users overcome perceptual obstacles, give users more appropriate choices, use suggestive effects, and compulsive functions, and cultivate users' awareness of environmental protection can design more products that can guide users to sustainable behavior. Children are highly curious, and throwing away old educational toys as waste will cause environmental pollution. If the behavior is designed to trade in old educational toys, parents will subconsciously think that they can use old educational toys when buying new educational toys. To offset some of the cost of new educational toys, this behavioral design can solve the problem of discarding some toys. The second is material optimization design. Minimizing consumption design through the use of materials is one of the important aspects of educational toy design. To optimize the selection of materials for the development and design of children's educational toys based on the concept of sustainable design, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the function, quality, shape, performance, life, and other aspects of the product make systematic arrangements, on this basis, make efficient use of material advantages, avoid unnecessary material loss, take into account the product life cycle and waste utilization rate, effectively avoid resource waste, use scientific strategies to reduce product production costs, and improve material recycling rate. Therefore, by advocating the use of environmentally friendly and energy-saving materials to optimize the development and design of educational toys, improve the utilization efficiency of materials, and optimize the functions of educational toys. In the development and design of educational toys, optimize the structure of educational toys, discard useless functions and overly complicated decorations, and simplify the design process. Optimizing the selection strategy of materials can reduce waste of resources and reduce production costs to a certain extent, and promote the reduction of product market prices, which not only reduces household expenses but also improves the acceptance of market products; the last is the replaceable design. The replaceable design mainly includes the disassembly and assembly functions of the product. By disassembling and replacing the original parts to achieve functional diversification, the replaced parts are a "new" product, which can make the product sustainable and save resources.

At the moment when the problem of resource waste is becoming more and more serious, the company will make effective use of resources through scientific and reasonable product design, which is the only way for toy manufacturing and the inevitable trend of social development. The share of children's educational toys in the international market is increasing year by year. Children's growth and education are the focus of parents and society. It requires the cooperation of families, designers, and enterprises to effectively promote sustainable development. Through the diversification of educational toys, functions Extend product life and achieve sustainability in material and function.
