Starting this year, these new “green” pieces will mark a significant step toward the company’s goal to replace all materials with sustainable alternatives by 2030.

Though the new plant-based polyethylene pieces will comprise only 1 to 2 percent of the plastic used by Lego, the vice-president of environmental responsibility, Tim Brooks, reports high hopes for the new eco-friendly plans. “This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all Lego bricks using sustainable materials,” he said.
