LEGO produces billions of these plastic pieces every year. BILLIONS. The plastic used in Lego is mostly acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS. Acrylonitrile is produced from propylene and ammonia; butadiene is a petroleum hydrocarbon and styrene monomers are derived from coal. It%u2019s quite a chemical and fossil fuel cocktail.
Why not a more eco.friendly approach? At the very least, recycled plastic. Maybe a program for schools--collect your plastic and we'll buy it from you to create more Legos?
