The Denmark-based company has decided to act sustainably by using sustainable materials to produce their new collection of sustainable lego toys which will be made of plant-based plastics. Promoting sustainability, the first collection for the sustainable lego toys is comprised of “botanical elements” like trees and bushes, which will be released later this year. Replacing the former oil-based plastics, the new pieces contain only 1 to 2 percent of polyethylene.
Lego’s plan is that all their toys would be produced from only sustainable materials by 2030.

This is because the sugarcane material is broken down into polyethylene which acts as a flexible, plant-based, recyclable plastic. Ethically sourced, the sugarcane used for the sustainable LEGO toys is manufactured according to the guidelines set by the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance (BFA) and the Bonsucro Chain of Custody.
