The Hasbro toy company is making its iconic action figure, G.I. Joe, more eco-friendly. The company is reducing the polyvinyl chloride and other non-recyclable materials in the packaging used to market the toy. Hasbro will completely eliminate PVC in packaging for all new products by the start of 2013. In 2010, Hasbro replaced all wire ties in its packages with ties made from paper rattan or bamboo mix, eliminating 34,000 miles of wire.
