Much of our packaging is made from paper and cardboard, which are globally more likely to be recycled than other materials. However, some of our packaging still contains single-use plastic, which we don’t consider as sustainable and therefore are aiming to eliminate from all our packaging by the end of 2025.
When developing new and more sustainable packaging solutions, they will undergo extensive testing including tests by external and independent laboratories to confirm their recyclability. Only after passing the tests for recyclability, will we include these new solutions in our packaging.
We encourage recycling and provide consumers with guidance on how to responsibly dispose of their LEGO® packaging. The rules for how to recycle vary between countries, regions and municipalities, so we encourage people to check with their local authorities on how to correctly dispose of our recyclable packaging.
Our LEGO® boxes are made of cardboard (corrugated fiberboard PAP20 or non-corrugated fiberboard PAP21) from responsibly sourced materials certified by the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™C117818).
LEGO boxes can be recycled where infrastructure and access to paper and cardboard recycling exist.
In some cases, a LEGO® box might feature material identification codes for corrugated fiberboard (PAP 20), non-corrugated fiberboard (PAP 21), and paper (PAP22). In these cases, the LEGO box is made of corrugated fiberboard but there will be one or more smaller boxes made from non-corrugated fiberboard and/or paper-based bags inside. This is indicated with triangular symbols with chasing arrows.
We are in the process of switching from single-use plastic to paper-based bags. While our boxes currently still feature bags made from polypropylene (PP) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE), we will be gradually replacing them with bags made from >95% paper with a thin plastic coating on the inside, which enables sealing of the bags and ensures that they are fit-for-purpose to hold LEGO® and LEGO DUPLO® bricks.
Our new paper-based bags are made with paper from Forest Stewardship Council™ certified forests and FSC-controlled wood and have been verified as recyclable in the European Union, United States and Canada.
Although recyclable through paper recycling systems in many places, we encourage people to check with their local authorities for information on how to correctly dispose of our paper-based bags.
We are in the process of phasing out the single-use plastic packaging our LEGO® baseplates used to be wrapped in over the coming months and have started to introduce new packaging that is made from paper with a thin plastic coating on the inside, which enables sealing of the packaging and helps protect the product.
Our new paper-based baseplate packaging is made with paper from Forest Stewardship Council™ certified forests and FSC-controlled wood and has been certified as recyclable in the European Union, United States and Canada.
Although recyclable through paper recycling systems in many places, we encourage people to check with their local authorities for information on how to correctly dispose of our paper-based baseplate packaging.
LEGO® boxes in the US and Canada feature the How2Recycle® label. This promotes packaging recycling and provides US and Canadian consumers with clear guidance to responsibly dispose of or recycle their LEGO packaging.
Electronic products and batteries should be sorted and disposed of separately from other types of waste, which is a requirement by EU legislation.
National or local schemes are in place for disposal and collection of electronic products. Separation of different material types is important for facilitating recycling and recovery. We therefore encourage you to contact your local municipality for advice on sorting rules.
Vifaa vya kuunganisha vya bidhaa zetu hutengenezwa kwa karatasi na makaratasi, ambayo ni uwezekano mkubwa zaidi wa kutumiwa tena kuliko vifaa vingine. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya vifurushi vyetu bado vina plastiki ya matumizi moja, ambayo hatuoni kuwa endelevu na kwa hivyo tunakusudia kuondoa kutoka kwa vifurushi vyetu vyote ifikapo mwisho wa 2025. Wakati wa kuendeleza suluhisho mpya na zaidi endelevu ufungaji, wao itabidi kupitia majaribio ya kina, ikiwa ni pamoja na vipimo na maabara ya nje na huru, kuthibitisha recyclability yao. Ni baada tu ya kupitisha vipimo vya kurudishwa tena, tutachanganya suluhisho hizi mpya katika ufungaji wetu. Tunapendekeza kuondoa na kuondoa bidhaa zetu kwa njia ya uaminifu na kwa njia ya uaminifu, na tunatoa ushauri wa uaminifu kwa watumiaji wetu juu ya jinsi ya kuondoa vifurushi vya LEGO kwa njia ya uwajibikaji. Sheria za kuondoa na kuondoa zinatofautiana kutoka nchi moja hadi nyingine, kwa hivyo tunapendekeza watu wajiandikishe kwa mamlaka za mitaa na kuamua jinsi ya kuondoa vifurushi vyao. LEGO® Boxes ni ya makaratasi (corrugated fiberboard PAP20 au non-corrugated fiberboard PAP21) kutoka kwa vifaa vya chanzo cha uwajibikaji vyenye vyeti na Forest Stewardship Council (FSCTM C11718). Masanduku ya LEGO yanaweza kutumiwa tena mahali ambapo miundombinu na upatikanaji wa karatasi na karatasi ya kuchakata ipo. Katika kesi zingine, sanduku la LEGO linaweza kuwa na nambari za kitambulisho cha nyenzo kwa ajili ya fiberboard ya corrugated (PAP20), fiberboard isiyo ya corrugated (PAP21), na karatasi (PAP22). Katika kesi hizi, sanduku la LEGO limetengenezwa kwa ubao wa nyuzi za corrugated, lakini kutakuwa na sanduku moja au zaidi ndogo zilizotengenezwa kutoka kwa ubao wa nyuzi zisizo za corrugated na au mifuko ya karatasi ndani. Hii inaonyeshwa na alama za pembetatu na mishale ya kufuatilia. Sisi ni katika mchakato wa kubadili kutoka plastiki ya matumizi moja kwa mifuko ya karatasi. Wakati masanduku yetu ya sasa bado yana mifuko iliyotengenezwa kutoka kwa polypropylene (PP) au polyethylene ya wiani wa chini (LDPE), tutaibadilisha hatua kwa hatua na mifuko iliyotengenezwa kutoka kwa karatasi ya 95% na kifuniko cha plastiki nyembamba ndani, ambayo inaruhusu kufungwa kwa mifuko na kuhakikisha kuwa inafaa kwa kusudi la kuweka matofali ya LEGO. Mifuko yetu mpya ya karatasi imetengenezwa na karatasi kutoka kwa misitu iliyothibitishwa na Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) na mbao zilizodhibitiwa na FSC na zimethibitishwa kuwa zinaweza kurejeshwa katika Umoja wa Ulaya, Marekani na Canada. Ingawa inaweza kurejeshwa kupitia mifumo ya kuchakata karatasi katika maeneo mengi, tunahimiza watu kuangalia na mamlaka zao za mitaa kwa habari juu ya jinsi ya kuondoa vizuri mifuko yetu ya karatasi. """Tunazingatia kuondoa vifurushi vya plastiki vya matumizi moja ambavyo vifurushi vyetu vya msingi vya LEGO vinatumiwa katika miezi ijayo na tumeanza kuanzisha vifurushi vipya vilivyotengenezwa kwa karatasi na kifuniko cha plastiki nyembamba ndani, ambayo inaruhusu kufungwa kwa kifurushi na kusaidia kulinda bidhaa." Ufungaji wetu mpya wa msingi wa karatasi umetengenezwa na karatasi kutoka kwa misitu iliyothibitishwa na Forest Stewardship Council na mbao zilizodhibitiwa na FSC na imethibitishwa kuwa inaweza kurejeshwa katika Umoja wa Ulaya, Marekani na Canada. Ingawa inaweza kurejeshwa kupitia mifumo ya kuchakata karatasi katika maeneo mengi, tunahimiza watu kuangalia na mamlaka zao za mitaa kwa habari juu ya jinsi ya kuondoa kwa usahihi ufungaji wetu wa msingi wa karatasi. "Kufikia sasa, masanduku ya LEGO nchini Marekani na Canada yana alama ya ""How2Recycle.""" Hii inakuza utengenezaji wa vifurushi na kuwapa watumiaji wa Amerika na Canada mwongozo wazi wa kuondoa au kuchakata vifurushi vya LEGO kwa uwajibikaji. Bidhaa za elektroniki na betri zinapaswa kutenganishwa na kuondolewa tofauti na aina nyingine za taka, ambayo ni mahitaji ya sheria ya EU. Mipango ya kitaifa au ya mitaa iko kwa ajili ya kuondolewa na ukusanyaji wa bidhaa za elektroniki. Kutenganisha aina tofauti za vifaa ni muhimu kwa kuwezesha kuchakata na kurudisha. Kwa hiyo tunakutia moyo uwasiliane na manispaa yako ya eneo lako kwa ushauri juu ya sheria za kuchagua.
