FILE - A LEGO set made of its blocks featuring K-pop band BTS, is shown during a publicity event at a store in Seoul, South Korea, on March 2, 2023. Danish toymaker Lego said Monday Sept. 25, 2023 that an experiment to make its colorful building bricks out of recycled drinks bottles didnt work but the worlds largest toymaker remains committed to its plans to find sustainable materials to reduce carbon emission.
Two years ago, the privately-held group which makes its bricks out of oil-based plastic, started researching a potential transition to recycled plastic bottles made of PET plastic, which doesn’t degrade in quality when recycled. Also known as green methanol, e-methanol is composed of waste carbon dioxide and hydrogen, created by using renewable energy to split water molecules.
