首批采用可持续性材料制乐高积木将面世

First sustainable LEGO bricks will be launched

乐高集团已经开始生产由取自甘蔗的植物基塑料制成的一系列乐高元件，并以多种形式呈现这些新型可持续性乐高植物元件，其中包括树叶、灌木和树木。

The move is part of the LEGO Group’s commitment to use sustainable materials in core products and packaging by 2030.

新型可持续性乐高元件采用聚乙烯（一种柔软、耐用和有延展性的塑料）制成，这些元件的原料虽取自甘蔗，它们在技术层面上和由传统塑料制成的元件一致。

The new sustainable LEGO elements are made from polyethylene, which is a soft, durable and flexible plastic, and while they are based>'Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements, because plant-based polyethylene has the same properties as conventional polyethylene,' said Tim Brooks.
