LEGO plans to source 50% of its plastic from renewable and recycled materials by 2026. Currently, most bricks are petroleum-based, but the company is shifting to renewable resin, which is more eco-friendly but up to 70% more expensive. Using mass balance, a supply chain tracing method, LEGO aims to lead the toy industry’s shift to sustainable materials. In the first half of 2024, 30% of LEGO's resin purchases were certified mass balance, with 22% of raw materials from renewable and recycled sources, showing progress from 2023.

 

After decades of bringing joy to millions of children, LEGO is now taking significant steps to lessen its environmental impact.
