The LEGO Group, a Danish plastic construction toys maker and Novo Nordisk pharmaceutical company, have agreed to buy green methanol for their production to use renewable energy. The companies partnered with European Energy for the supply of the low-carbon alternative ingredient for making plastic.
LEGO will be replacing fossil-based materials in its plastic production to help reduce carbon in the environment. On the other hand, Novo Nordisk will use green methanol as a replacement for fossil-based plastic being added to its insulin pens and medical devices.
The toymaker confirmed on Thursday last week that it has agreed to purchase e-methanol as an alternative to its traditional plastic ingredients. This will be used in its plastic building brick toys once European Energy starts the production of the e-methanol in its new factory in 2024, as per Reuters.
The renewable energy firm is privately owned and develops and builds energy solutions for climate change, such as wind and solar parks. It is currently setting up its plant in Aabenraa, Denmark. Starting next year, European Energy will produce 32,000 tonnes of e-methanol annually.
“We are proud to join forces with European Energy and Novo Nordisk to accelerate research and progress in the development of lower-carbon plastics,” LEGO Group’s vice president of materials, Nelleke van der Puil, said in a press release. “As part of our commitment to building a sustainable future for children, we have committed to making our products from more sustainable materials.”
European Energy’s chief executive officer, Knud Erik Andersen, also said regarding the new collaboration, “The use of plastic is an integrated part of the modern world, not only in our daily lives but also in industrial processes and equipment. Novo Nordisk and the LEGO Group are already leading the way into the future in various ways, and now even more by joining this cooperation.”
