replenishable wood
I imagine it means that the wood has come from a plantation and thus the toys aren't damaging the environment.

environmentally friendly wood -- specially-grown wood
Awkward, but that seems to be the idea.
I don't think I've seen an English equivalent --certainly not "recycled wood," though that's similar in intent.

: I agree in a forestry context but think that in catalogs for general manufactured goods such as furniture or toys, "plantation" or "plantation-grown" is more common.
