One Game. One Tree.

We’ve teamed up with Ecologi and the Eden Reforestation Project to rebuild the mangroves of Madagascar. We’ll do that by planting a tree for every game that we sell on the Big Potato website.

Mangroves are four-times better at removing carbon from the atmosphere than rainforests. But with nearly 90% of Madagascar’s original forests gone, it’s vital that we try to reverse deforestation. By doing so, we can support both the environment and the local community.

Less is More

We realised that one simple way to reduce our carbon footprint was to squeeze our games into smaller boxes.

The bits inside are exactly the same, so you’re getting just as much game, but the smaller size means we can cut down on the pollution from transportation, by fitting more of our games inside ships and trucks.

Plus, there’s the added bonus of being able to fit more games on your shelf too!

Plastic Free Board Games

There’s too much plastic in the world, so we cut it out wherever we can. Last year we made 64% of our games plastic free.

We did this this by getting rid of the shrink wrap around boxes and cards, replacing our plastic stickers with cellulose and removing all of our plastic inserts.

We’ve also put out plastic free whale on the front of all our environmentally-friendly games. So, if you see him on the box, it means you’re looking at a bonafide, plastic-free party starter.

Going Even Greener

We’re going to keep trying our best to look for ways to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. If you have any cool ideas that could make us even greener get in touch at hello@bigpotato.co.uk.
