At Ecogames, environmental responsibility and craftsmanship for our game production is one of our passions. Our team is committed to creating durable and sustainable learning tools, and wherever possible, doing it the good old-fashioned way, with human hands. Our production methodologies allow us to make small on-demand production runs that both support local artisans and help keep our production’s carbon footprint to a minimum. We use locally sourced, artisanally-produced upcycled plastic trash, carved sustainable wood, and hand sewn and silk screened fabrics. We avoid single use plastic packaging and instead use materials that are either compost-able or long-lasting and reusable to pack up our educational games. Our one compromise comes when we consider the longevity of our outdoor and classroom games. The all-weather vinyl that we use for our giant game boards and their carrier bags ensure our giant classroom games can be used hundreds of times, while still maintaining their integrity. Ecogames also prioritizes community collaboration in our production process. We’ve teamed up with a network of micro, small, and medium enterprises in Bali and neighboring Indonesian islands. From seamstresses to wood crafters and silkscreen artists, the people behind the scenes that make ecogames products possible are part of the wider ecogames family. Let’s take a look at some of our unique materials One of the materials we use is our colorful and durable plastic game pieces that are made from upcycled trash. For these unique items we collaborate with Robries who to date have repurposed and removed from the waste stream 64+ Tons of plastic trash, including 200+ Million bottle caps. At Robries large flat blocks are made by slowly melting down carefully cleaned and sorted trash that has been specified to match our custom designed color palette. The blocks are then laser cut at a small home industry in Bali that employs skilled artisans who specialize in creating the shapes of our game’s upcycled plastic components. To learn more about the Precious Plastic production we use and its impacts see this article. Our wooden games are carefully sized and then precision handcrafted by an artisanal woodcrafting team in West Java that specializes in shaping wooden toys. Each element is carved from kiln-dried durable pine wood, a lightweight, sustainable material that is perfect for natural game production. Once the wooden elements are hand-cut, they are then silk screened by hand-printing craftspeople, giving each piece a unique character and flair. Ecogames’ cloth material game component and natural packaging elements are created in collaboration with a small family business in Bali that we have been collaborating with for years. Pak Rudi and his family are generations of tailors that take the deepest pride in every item they sew. Unless customized digital printing is used in their designs, once sewn, each bag is then hand silk screened for the game’s finishing touch. At ecogames we are constantly exploring opportunities for innovative upcycling and eco-friendliness for our educational game production as well as eco-conscious game producers we can share resources with. Do you have any suggestions for further collaborations? Feel free to reach out to us at hello@ecogames.net And thank you so much for considering purchasing one of our creations. Together, we can appreciate and support human ingenuity while nurturing our planet.

Our Precious Plastic Game Pieces: Transforming Trash Into Treasure!
“Precious Plastic” is a truly innovative and impactful method for transforming discarded plastic waste into beautiful and functional items. At ecogame.net we use this innovative material to produce many of our game tokens and pieces. One of the key machines used in the Precious Plastic process is the shredder, which efficiently breaks down plastic waste into smaller particles. Once shredded, the plastic is heated and melted, ready to be moulded into new forms. This valuable raw material can be used for various purposes, including 3D printing and, as we’ll soon discover, game token and piece production. In the world of board games, where imagination meets creativity, a new wave of eco-conscious game designers and producers are emerging, determined to make a positive impact on the environment. If this is you, the ecogames.net team is excited to introduce you to our innovative Precious Plastic Game Tokens and Pieces. At ecogames.net we have a deep-seated love for Precious Plastic, and it forms the heart and soul of our tabletop and giant game designs. Precious Plastic is a revolutionary approach to upcycling and community empowerment. This remarkably appropriate technology takes discarded plastic and turns it into something valuable. The process involves shredding and melting plastic to transform it into raw material, which can be used for various purposes, including 3D printing. A Brief History of Precious Plastic The project was initiated in 2013 by Dutch industrial designer Dave Hakkens and has since evolved through several iterations. It relies on a series of machines and tools that grind, melt, and inject recycled plastic, allowing for the creation of new products on a small scale. This open-source digital commons project has grown to include over 40,000 people in more than 400 workspaces globally, all dedicated to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability. If you’re an eco-conscious game designer or producer, we extend a warm invitation to join us in the Precious Plastic movement. You can either reach out to the global Precious Plastic movement team to set up your own workshop, find a Precious Plastic producer near you or contact us to discuss how we can support your production with our unique range of Precious Plastic game pieces. Here in Bali, ecogames.net partners with several local producers of Precious Plastic including Yayasan Kaki Kita Sukasada (YKKS) and Bali Rare Paduraksa, who use plastic waste to create prosthetic limbs, including artificial feet. By utilising three primary types of plastic wastes, pipes, bottle caps, and other discarded plastic they are making prosthetic limbs more affordable, upcycling trash into a variety of useful items and empowering communities to directly impact environmental issues. About ecogames’ Precious Plastic Game Tokens and Pieces Our Precious Plastic game tokens and pieces are all handmade in Bali, fostering local craftsmanship and providing livelihoods for local communities.
