In daily life, we often see various kinds of toys, such as plastic toys, rubber toys, and plush toys. Most of the toys we can access are made from plastic as a custom material. So why use plastic as a custom material? What advantages does plastic itself have?

In addition to having advantages in shaping technology, plastic parts can also be mass-produced in factories during other stages of product design. Except for some handmade products and dolls made by designers, most toys can be manufactured by machines, with only a portion requiring 'uniqueness' and extremely high precision. Additionally, plastic can be synthesized and remolded to meet today's consumers' various demands for toys, such as needing to be transparent, soft, elastic, durable, and hard to produce corresponding toys.

Plastic is versatile. For example, PE and LDPE can be recycled. In comparison, wooden and fabric toys are much more environmentally friendly, while one major advantage of CA is its recyclability. In this environmentally conscious and sustainable society, eco-friendly plastic toys are better suited to the development of the times.

It is worth noting that some materials also have local cultural characteristics. For example, rubber toys produced in Hong Kong are plastic products, but now Hong Kong rubber toys have become a significant local feature, and rubber has also developed into a synonym for a type of toy. For products, materials are no longer just 'materials' but play a much larger role.
