When children's toys from China come to Europe, it's because they are cheap – supposedly. But the only thing that is cheap is the twisted, capitalist logic that then rules with the invisible hand of the market and a greed for profit. This logic is: "Produce cheaply – sell expensively – make a profit".
And producing children's toys cheaply means:
- No 8-hour workday, not even for children!
- Products contaminated with heavy metals and other toxic substances.
You recognize them when you have to hold your nose and suddenly tears well up in your eyes. - The worst and most appalling environmental conditions, or why do you think the Yangtze river dolphin has become extinct?
We at 4betterdays.com are not part of this!
Quite the opposite, we want to achieve a trend reversal here. We believe that European production standards should be exported. Our children's toys are made for us and also for the children in China, and therefore made for China. We are not taking a Eurocentric approach, as if to say "The sun of Europe shines over the rest of the world".
On the contrary, 4betterdays.com also sees room for improvement, especially when it comes to the quality of children's toys . Nevertheless, we believe that the countries of the Alpine region have achieved a lot with their consumer power. And we want to pass on this high standard to all the children of this world with our fair, ecologically valuable and regional products.
