Barbie Loves the Ocean is a brand-new fashion doll line from Mattel and it shares toys that are made with 90% recycled ocean-bound plastic pieces. The eco-friendly Barbies sport colorful, beach-ready outfits, accessories and they can be used with a beach shack playset, which also helps to make the most of materials that would have otherwise gone to waste. The line of sustainable dolls is also a diverse one that features Barbies of different skin tones and sizes.
This new line of dolls from Mattel supports a bigger vision to use 100% recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic materials by 2030. The launch of Barbie Loves the Ocean is kicking off with a vlog from Barbie called Barbie Shares How We Can All Protect the Planet.
