If it makes you feel better, lego is actively chasing this out and switching to paper packaging! I've started to see it more and more on newer sets.
At least they've stuck with cardboard + paper packaging on everything else from the start.
Though, the fact lego is in of itself plastic sorta will always be an inherent problem... lol
Though in all honesty, Lego is Lego because it's made of quality plastics. I have Legos that I played with and young nephews are now playing with them. On top of that, new Legos fit with the old ones. This toy is being used for 30 years and it will continue to do so for decades. I can't think of any other toy that could be called more sustainable and timeless than Lego.
Yeah, I have a lot less issue with plastic products that are actually high quality enough to last and not part of a disposable product category
I’ve said it before but if hypothetical aliens would ever come to me to ask for proof of human intelligence i would show them lego.
Non-single-use plastic isn't really a problem. It's no worse than equivalent metal parts.
Since they're using ABS they have done some experiments with using recycled plastic. I think the biggest challenge is to get the quality to their standard. I don't think they made any pledges (didn't bother to check either) but they are at least testing the waters!
