Earlier today, The LEGO Group announced that they are celebrating three years of zero waste to landfills. In an effort to minimizing their impact to the environment, the goal called Zero Impact in Operations is to reduce carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation. Last year, 96% of the waste generated in production was reused, recycled, or recovered without incineration or going to the landfill.

That means continuing to reduce the impact of LEGO® production and our use of resources. We set targets for our carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation, as part of our goal called ‘Zero Impact in Operations.’ This aims to decouple our impact from business growth.

One of our areas of focus is reducing and managing the waste created in our factories. We are constantly looking for ways to avoid waste and to ensure disposal methods are as sustainable as possible.

Focus on waste prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling

We aim to reduce the waste that goes to incineration or landfill across all our factories. In 2024, 96% of the waste generated during production of LEGO bricks was reused, recycled or recovered. For the last three years, and despite a minor increase, we have remained within a ‘zero waste to landfill’ threshold, which is commonly interpreted as less than 1% of waste generated going to landfill. We have also successfully
