Why Sustainability Matters
Why Sustainability Is at the Heart of Sona Sensory
At Sona Sensory, sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it’s built into the foundation of everything we create. Our sensory toys are made using PLA (Polylactic Acid), a plant-based material derived from cornstarch and sugarcane. This renewable, non-toxic alternative to traditional plastic helps us offer a better future for children and the planet they’ll inherit.

PLA: A Better Choice for the Planet and Our Children
PLA is produced from fast-growing crops and requires significantly less energy and fewer carbon emissions to manufacture compared to petroleum-based plastics.It’s compostable in industrial environments and designed to break down more safely at the end of its life cycle.
That means less long-term waste and more mindful materials in children’s hands today.
We choose PLA because it aligns with our values:
✔ Safe for kids ✔ Gentle on the environment ✔ Strong enough to support years of play
Unlike conventional plastics, PLA doesn’t rely on fossil fuels. Instead, it supports a shift toward cleaner production and sustainable sourcing.
Designed with Purpose
Our toys reflect this commitment to sustainability — visually and functionally.
Every piece is produced through 3D printing, a process that allows for precision with minimal waste.
Each toy is made in small batches, reducing overproduction and ensuring consistent quality from start to finish.
