The LEGO Group aims to make all its packaging from more sustainable materials. As part of this ambition, the company is phasing out single-use plastic in LEGO boxes and replacing plastic pre-pack bags with new bags made with paper from Forest Stewardship Council certified forests and FSC-controlled wood.
The rollout of the new paper-based bags, which are verified as recyclable in the European Union, United States and Canada, started in Europe and Asia this year and will continue into 2024 when the rollout across the Americas markets will also start.
