Several articles about LEGO lately… oh well… here's another:
LEGO is making big strides in sustainability, recently announcing that nearly one-third of the materials used in their iconic bricks are now made from renewable sources.
This progress is part of LEGO’s larger goal to create products entirely from sustainable materials by 2032 and become carbon-neutral by 2050.
Instead of relying solely on traditional plastic, LEGO now mixes recycled and renewable materials—like used cooking oils and plant-based oils—with traditional plastics. They’ve also increased spending significantly on environmental projects, highlighting their strong commitment to protecting the planet.
These moves are both good news for the environment and inspiring for the toy industry as a whole. By taking bold steps toward sustainability, LEGO sets an example for other companies to follow.
Ultimately, LEGO’s progress shows that it's possible to create toys we love in a way that also takes care of our planet. After all, LEGO's primary users today are the world leaders of tomorrow.
The LEGO Group revealed significant progress in its efforts to increase the use of sustainable materials in its products, announcing that its LEGO bricks in 2024 consisted of an estimated 33% material from renewable sources, nearly tripling year-over-year.
