HABA® is natural! HABA® uses woods from sustainable forestry. Suppliers are PEFC* certified. The natural and mechanical characteristics of beech and maple wood, in combination with a design of clear colors and shapes are the most suitable for a great, heirloom quality toy. When it comes to applying colors, HABA only use water-based ecologically friendly, solvent-free lacquers. Multiple lacquer layers render the surface extremely resistant to humidity and wear and tear, allowing the toy to be taken from the hand to the mouth, at any time.
