Why Paper Packaging Is the Better Choice for Small Toy Parts – A Look at NextGenPaper

Hello dear readers,

Have you ever wondered why small toy parts like puzzle pieces, building blocks, or figurines are still packaged in plastic bags? There are already sustainable alternatives that are environmentally friendly, practical, and safe. Today, we’d like to show you why paper packaging is the better choice—and how NextGenPaper plays a key role.

Plastic-Free – A Small Step with a Big Impact

Small toy parts need protection, no doubt. But plastic isn’t the only solution. Conventional plastic packaging often ends up in the trash right after opening and pollutes our environment for decades. Paper-based alternatives offer a real advantage here: they are durable, sustainable, and easy to recycle.


Just imagine: a pouch made from specialty paper—technically called a "flowpack"—that holds the small parts securely, keeps out moisture, and can simply be tossed into the paper recycling bin after playtime. Sounds easy, right? That’s exactly what’s possible—and we’re proud to be part of it.

Safety First – Even with Paper Packaging

When it comes to children's products, safety is the top priority. Our paper-based packaging is food-safe and complies with the latest 2024 regulations, certified by ISEGA. That means they are completely harmless—even if curious little hands start to explore the packaging.

Recycling Made Simple

Another benefit: our packaging is PPWR-compliant and can be easily disposed of with waste paper. No more guessing which bin to use. This makes sustainability part of everyday life—without making things more complicated.

Fun Without Compromise

Toys are meant to bring joy, spark imagination, and excite children. Packaging may play only a supporting role, but it can still make a difference. Paper-based solutions help make the world a little better—without compromising the fun.

Together for a Sustainable Future

PE-/PLA-free packaging for small toy parts is a step in the right direction. It’s environmentally friendly, safe, and practical. With solutions like NextGenPaper, we’re proving that sustainability and functionality can go hand in hand.

Let’s walk together toward a future with less plastic—for us, our children, and generations to come.
