    If it makes you feel better, lego is actively chasing this out and switching to paper packaging! I’ve started to see it more and more on newer sets.

    At least they’ve stuck with cardboard + paper packaging on everything else from the start.

    Though, the fact lego is in of itself plastic sorta will always be an inherent problem… lol

      Though in all honesty, Lego is Lego because it’s made of quality plastics. I have Legos that I played with and young nephews are now playing with them. On top of that, new Legos fit with the old ones. This toy is being used for 30 years and it will continue to do so for decades. I can’t think of any other toy that could be called more sustainable and timeless than Lego.

        Yeah, I have a lot less issue with plastic products that are actually high quality enough to last and not part of a disposable product category

        All this company does is creates plastic which will end up in land fills.

        Buying their products contributes to this.

          Exactly. My friend brought it over for me to put together (not an excuse).

          Next time I will yell at him about buying wasteful products. A conclusion I came to on my own and goes over well when lectured to friends bearing gifts.
