being made of plastic it should come as no surprise,
that the company is actively looking at the possibility of turning waste plastic bottles into bricks, photographs LEGO,
created as part of the Danish company's drive to make all of its
products from sustainable materials by 2030, the brick prototypes were created
from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), a common thermoplastic used
for products such as bottles and clothing,
the prototype, which has been developed over the past three
years, was made from used plastic bottles acquired from suppliers in the United
States, a one-litre plastic bottle supplies enough raw material for around 10 2x4 Lego
bricks, just like the bricks above, "Any new materials we use must live up to the high quality and
safety standards as those we apply to our existing products – this includes the
product durability," the brand said, founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, Lego has become one of the world's leading toy brands, well they might be made of recycled plastic, but I am sure they will hurt just as much when you stand on one with no shoes on just like the others!
