Going Green

TGC is concerned about the environment, and we're working hard to reduce our footprint.

What We Do

Unfortunately, one-off production is far less efficient than mass production. That actually adds to our footprint, but one-off production also has some advantages:

  • We produce only what people are going to use, so there is less waste if a particular game doesn't sell very well.
  • We produce everything in the United States, where we are selling the games, so there's less production.
  • We buy game parts from U.S. manufacturers that actually make those parts locally wherever possible. 

Our Boxes

Our Indestructo game boxes are pure cardboard and do not require glue or tape for assembly. Even without glue and tape they can withstand pressures of up to 200lbs. These boxes are more expensive, but by using them we're not using as many harsh chemicals that are found in glues, adhesives, and plastics.

Wood Filled Parts

We have many parts that are made with wood-filled plastic, which makes them very green.

  • These parts are made of 40% wood fibers, which means they use less hydrocarbons.
  • The wood fibers come from waste wood, which is taking waste out of the waste stream.
  • This method of production expends less energy because there is less plastic to be melted down to form a mold.
