Counting Down the Top 10 Articles of 2021 - #4: Hasbro Phases Out Plastics

Anne Marie Mohan reported in March 2021 that this global toy company plans to eliminate all plastic packaging for new products by the end of 2022 and is introducing two new products that will “bring sustainability to family game night.”

“We're trying to sell toys, but we're also trying to genuinely make the world a better place and hopefully preserve some of the resources that this world has left to offer our kids,” said Hasbro’s Ben Kuchler, Director of Product and Package Sustainability. Kuchler and Jacquie Patterson, Senior Manager of Package Engineering on the Sustainability Team, presented at Sustainability in Packaging US this week, and talked about the company’s broad sustainability actions over the past decade, as well as their path for the future.
