COPENHAGEN, June 23 (Reuters) - Lego expects to begin selling toy building bricks made from recycled plastic bottles in 18 to 24 months, having found a suitable green alternative to oil-based plastic, the Danish toymaker said on Wednesday.
Lego's search for an alternative material has been a challenge, with almost 150 engineers and scientists testing many different plant-based and recycled materials over the past six years."We are super excited about this breakthrough," said Tim Brooks, Lego's vice president of environmental responsibility.
"We want our products to have a positive impact on the planet, not just with the play they inspire, but also with the materials we use." - link
