Sustainability
Raising Creative Kids. Responsibly.
Twisty Kids was created to help children build real skills through hands-on, screen-free play.
For us, sustainability is not just about materials — it's about designing products that last, reduce waste, and support healthy childhood development.
We believe childhood should be filled with imagination, movement, and creativity — not disposable toys and endless screen time.
That belief guides every decision we make.
Designed for Reuse
Sustainability starts with product design.
Twisty Kids wax sticks are:
- Designed to be used again and again
- Self-stick without glue
- Mess-free and long-lasting
- Battery-free
- Screen-free
Unlike many disposable craft products, Twisty Kids encourages repeated creative play — reducing single-use waste and supporting long-term engagement.
By creating products children return to again and again, we reduce the cycle of fast, throwaway toys.
Materials & Safety
Twisty Kids wax sticks are designed to be:
- Non-toxic – Safe for children ages 3+
- Child-safe – Complies with EN71 toy safety standards
- Reusable – Use them over and over
- Durable – Built to last through countless creative sessions
Our products comply with EN71 toy safety standards, and analysis reports are available upon request.
We are committed to using materials that are suitable for children's use and aligned with safety regulations. We continuously review materials and production processes to ensure they meet both safety and quality expectations.
Responsible Packaging
We aim to reduce unnecessary waste and design packaging with reuse and recyclability in mind.
Our packaging includes:
- Recycled and FSC-certified paper components
- Recyclable cardboard packaging
- Minimal plastic use
We continue to explore improvements in materials, print methods, and packaging efficiency.
Recyclable Backpacks & Wet Bags
Our backpacks and wet bags are made from DuPont™ Tyvek® fabric, which is:
- 100% HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
- 100% recyclable
- Durable and long-lasting
- Lightweight and water-resistant

In Australia, Upparel in Melbourne can recycle our Tyvek® garments and bags (provided they are not already contaminated with hazardous dust or chemicals).

Ethical Production
Our products are manufactured by:
Henan Tangxia Technology Co., Ltd
Henan Province, China
The factory holds ISO and BSCI certifications, supporting responsible production practices and compliance with international labour and safety standards.
We are committed to working with partners who:
- Follow local labour laws
- Provide safe working conditions
- Prohibit child labour
- Maintain quality and environmental management systems
As we grow, we will continue to strengthen transparency and accountability across our supply chain.
Our Ongoing Commitment
We are a growing brand. Sustainability is a journey — not a finished statement.
We are committed to:
- Continuously improving our packaging and materials
- Reviewing freight and logistics options
- Increasing supply chain transparency
- Strengthening our environmental and social impact
- Exploring future certifications and accountability frameworks
As Twisty Kids grows, so will our responsibility — and our standards.
Childhood Matters
For us, sustainability is also about protecting childhood itself.
Encouraging creativity, fine motor development, imagination, and screen-free calm supports children's long-term wellbeing.
We believe sustainability includes raising confident, capable, creative humans — not just reducing environmental impact.
And we are proud to play a small role in that journey.
