Confused

Countries talk, experts talk, producers speak, consumers talk, but the minds are still confused… We think that no matter how much we talk about recycling, no matter how much projects are produced, it will take a little longer to understand recycling. The world's problem is not just plastic, we need to be able to talk about recycling for many materials. Speaking of paper bags instead of plastic bags, recycling or the use of plastic will not differentiate. What will the used paper packaging solve?

Lego will begin replacing plastic packaging with paper bags from 2021 as the toy manufacturer aims to be more sustainable. Lego announced that he has received letters from children asking them to remove disposable plastic bags. He said it would invest up to $ 400 million (£ 310 million) over three years to improve its sustainability efforts. Although the company is looking for alternative materials, Lego itself is made of plastic. Niels B Christiansen, CEO of Lego Group, said we have received many letters from environmental children asking us to remove the disposable plastic packaging. “We've been looking for alternatives for a while, and the passions and ideas of the kids have inspired us to start making change,” he added.

From next year, the toy company will begin offering recyclable paper bags approved by the Forest Stewardship Council for packaging legos. Lego will open 120 new stores despite the epidemic.

Children loved the eco-friendly and easy-to-open paper bags being tested in 2021, Christiansen added. The pressure on retailers to reduce their use of plastic bags and packaging is increasing. However, it is not always easy to make sure that alternatives are not carbon-intensive to manufacture, transport and recycle. Lego said its investment will also go into educational programs and efforts to make the company more sustainable in other areas. In 2015, the Danish company set its goal to make its products from sustainable materials by 2030. As part of this commitment, it will expand the use of bio-bricks such as those using sugarcane as ingredients. Earlier this month, Lego said that consumers sold more products during the bans to curb the spread of the coronavirus, with sales and profits rising in the first half of this year. Families are said to buy bigger and more complex Lego sets to keep themselves occupied.

Acting with consumer pressure will only make someone happy, it will not be the solution for recycling and sustainable resources. Acting with an objective perspective and maximum positive thinking will be much more beneficial to produce concrete projects for the future of the world.
