Supplier engagement—covering more than 70% of procurement spend—multiplies abatement across the value chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/PESTLE-Content-Enviromental-Box-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCircularity and end-of-life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpin Master pilots take-back and spare-parts programs to extend toy lifespans, while repairability features reduce replacement demand and waste; the company targets 100% recyclable primary packaging by 2025 per its 2024 sustainability commitments.
