Lida Jennings, the executive director for Teach for America Los Angeles, said the Lego Replay program will put Legos in the hands of numerous children, for whom Legos were previously out of reach because of cost.
By 2030, Lego aims to make all of its bricks using sustainable, plant-based materials. Lego has not changed the template for its bricks since 1958, meaning that any bricks made in the last 70 years are compatible and can be reused, and intermingle with 21st century bricks.
For the initial phase of the program, Lego has partnered with Teach for America and the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. In addition to the social and educational benefits the donated Legos could have, there’s an environmental boon as well. Brooks estimates the reuse process saves 80 percent of the resources needed to make new bricks.
Brooks says that Lego came to enact the plan for Replay because the company heard from so many customers who had passed down their own Lego collections. The bricks, by design, are meant to be used again and again.
Lego’s goals of net-neutral sustainability are still a long way off. But in the mean time, establishing a way for its product to be used over and over again is a solid step forward. “I think plastic is a great material,” Brooks says. “It lasts a long time, it can be made into lots of shapes. It's all about how it's used.
Plastic is found just about everywhere on Earth, it’s ridiculously difficult to clean up, and we’ll be dealing with it for generations to come. “Plastics are having a moment right now,” says Shelie Miller, a professor of sustainable systems and director of the environmental program at the University of Michigan.
Sam Gregory, program director at the human rights nonprofit WITNESS, talks with WIRED senior writer Tom Simonite about the implications of Deepfake videos and how we can adjust to this new and improving technology.
Lego says it wants to make its products completely sustainable by 2030. Last year, the company released its first batch of pieces made using more sustainable bio-based plastics. In 2017, it said that its production process was running on 100 percent renewable energy. (It’s a little more complicated than that.
