Call for Change: Join our Movement for Sustainability

At Joeydolls, our journey towards creating both meaningful and eco-conscious conscious toys has been nothing short of a heartfelt mission. Driven by our passion to contribute positively to the world, we embarked on a quest to craft toys that not only bring joy but also uphold our commitment to sustainability.

Our vision was clear – we wanted to incorporate recycled materials into the construction of our cultural dolls, a step that resonated with our values and dedication to a greener future. The prospect of breathing new life into discarded materials and reducing our ecological footprint filled us with excitement and purpose.

However, the path towards our noble environmentally conscious toy goal was not without challenges. An unforeseen hurdle emerged in our journey, revealing a complex reality that we, and perhaps many in our industry, had not fully anticipated.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the fact that despite our unwavering efforts, recycled materials are not permitted for use in toys in some states of the USA. The toy industry, a realm that spreads happiness and imagination, is also regulated by rules that haven't kept pace with the evolving world around us. These outdated regulations have hindered our pursuit of sustainability, leaving us with a difficult decision.

Regrettably, we were left with no alternative ditch the pursuit for eco-conscious toys and transition to entirely new materials. This was a decision that diverged from our original vision and values. This choice was born out of necessity rather than preference, and it was a tough pill to swallow. Our hearts remained steadfastly set on our initial mission, yet external forces compelled us to adapt.

While the outcome was not what we had hoped for, this experience has fortified our determination to advocate for change. We firmly believe that progress is a result of collective action and unyielding commitment. As the adage goes, "We may not have the power to change the rules overnight, but we do have the power to voice our concerns and work toward transformation."

We invite you to join us in this pursuit of change. By signing the petition we've started, you become a part of a growing movement that urges lawmakers to reevaluate and modernize the laws governing toy materials. Together, we can be the catalysts for change, ushering in a more sustainable and responsible toy industry.
