Danish toy giant Lego said 2 years of experimentation with blocks made from recycled plastic bottles showed they "didn't reduce carbon emissions."

    This is my surprised face.

    Plastic recycling as a way of reducing waste or emissions is not remotely viable. The one thing it is viable for is greenwashing: giving the impression that, because plastic recycling exists, there’s no need to reduce use of plastic.

      Yeah, nothing but respect for Lego here. Tried it, proved it wasn’t viable, chose not to do it just for the PR, and set back out to continue looking for something that actually works.
