We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Edx Education has been named a Lifestyle Winner at the City Kids Green Awards 2025! This prestigious award recognises our continued efforts to champion sustainability, ethical production, and most importantly, play-based learning for children around the world.
At Edx Education, we believe that educational toys should not only spark curiosity and creativity but also care for our planet. That’s why we’ve worked hard to redefine what sustainable educational toys can be and we’re honoured that our efforts have been recognised.
Green by Nature, Fun by Design
Our Green-n-Learn™ and Green-n-Play™ ranges are designed with little hands and big futures in mind. Crafted from recycled plastics, packed using FSC-certified paper with soy-based inks, and often made with Fibre Particulate Composite (FPC) a biodegradable material made from agricultural waste like rice husks these toys are not only durable and safe but also environmentally friendly.
This is sustainability children can see and touch – whether they’re exploring our STEAM Whale Story Counter Set or sorting shapes with one of our eco maths sets. Each play session is an opportunity to learn about the world and how to care for it.
Judge’s Praise for Planet-Friendly Play
The City Kids Green Awards panel had wonderful things to say about Edx Education:
- “Edx earns its place here through innovative product design, responsible production, and dedication to shaping young eco-citizens.” – Victoria Evans
- “Thoughtfully designed, educational toys which are long lasting and fun!” – Anita Worlidge
- “I love that Edx are teaching children about crucial topics like ocean pollution and recycling, thereby fostering a sustainable mindset from an early age.” – Erica Loi
These comments reflect our vision of inspiring sustainability from the earliest years, using play as the gateway to learning about the environment.
Our Sustainable Products Initiative
This award is a celebration of our ongoing Sustainable Products Initiative a mission to create educational toys that are more durable, reusable and recyclable. We’re continuously evolving our design and production processes to meet international standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001), reduce our environmental footprint, and embrace a circular economy approach.
We focus on six core sustainability values:
- Ethical and durable design
- Use of recycled and recyclable materials
- Sustainable packaging and printing
- Digital transformation to reduce paper use
- Educational outreach and equitable access
- Eco-conscious manufacturing and supply chain practices
From our ethically audited factories to our partnerships with early years educators, every decision we make is grounded in the belief that learning and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
