In more LEGO sustainability news, LEGO has announced that baseplates will also be changing their plastic packaging to paper packaging. The baseplates themselves will be the same colors but they will have new product numbers. The baseplates with the new paper packaging will be in available around March 2022.

Over the next few months you will likely see some products with “retiring soon” branding or perhaps a local retailer reporting that they are no longer able to order certain products. We want to share ahead of time that there is no need to be alarmed about baseplates.

In 2022, baseplates will be changing from their current plastic packaging to more sustainable paper packaging. Besides packaging, there are no additional changes with the LEGO baseplates and you will still be able to get the same colors and sizes in 2022 that you can purchase today. You can expect to see the new packaging around March 1, 2022.

A year ago, LEGO announced that they were investing up $400 million to accelerate their sustainability efforts, one of which was phasing out plastic bags. According to today’s 1HY 2021 Financial Results, LEGO has revealed that after a now completed successful trial of paper bags, they will start rolling it out in early 2022 with all packaging still on track for 100% sustainability by 2025. As part of the trials for parents and children, they found that the paper bags were environmentally friendly and were easy to open and this is part of enhancing the building experience.
