Hasbro launches eco-friendly Mr Potato Head Goes Green

Posted on 12th October 2020 By Billy Langsworthy

Hasbro, Mr Potato Head
Hasbro has launched Mr Potato Head Goes Green, the first Hasbro product made with plant-based plastic and virtually plastic-free packaging.

The new farmer figure is made with plant-based plastic derived from sugarcane, a renewable raw material and comes in virtually plastic-free packaging made of recyclable, paper-based materials.

This new item marks the first step in Hasbro’s commitment to making more sustainable products through the use of renewable materials.

Mr. Potato Head has a long history of changing with the times, from surrendering his pipe as part of the Great American Smokeout in 1987, to giving up his “couch potato” lifestyle and receiving a Presidential Sports Award from the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in 1992.
