Lego launched the production of parts from CO₂-based raw materials. Axles, connectors, steering wheels and even minifigure hands - a total of more than 90 parts are now made from new raw materials. The initiative took more than five years to test and implement. how does it work Hydrogen is extracted from water using renewable electricity. This is then combined with captured CO₂ to produce e-methanol. It becomes a raw material for further production of plastic. E-Methanol for Lego is produced by the European Energy Plant in Denmark. The company says the carbon footprint of this electronic methanol production can be up to 97% lower than the fossil-based equivalent. But this does not mean that the designer himself has become 97% more environmentally friendly, since the figure refers only to the production of electronic methanol. Lego has been trying desperately to "go green" for several years. By 2025, the company promised to replace the plastic bags with paper bags in all sets. By 2030, I was going to abandon ABS plastic, but I could not find equivalent analogues. Then there was an attempt to use the highest quality bio-plastic in production, paying 70% too much for it because of the competition in the market. There were also hopes that by 2026, half of the plastic used in cubes would be replaced with renewable or recycled materials. However, so far none of the initiatives have gone beyond the experiment.
