Abstract

Many toys have a short lifespan due to the requirement to be age appropriate. This means that toys either need to be reused or discarded in environmentally responsible manners. In this study we explored the possibilities of using cardboard and similar sustainable materials in the production of short-lived toys, also considering the resulting play value of the objects.
