Jedna optimistická na začiatok roka.

Dear RLUG Ambassadors and RLUGs globally.
Thank you for your many e-mails and interest in understanding the activity behind the images that surfaced on Facebook at the end of 2015.
The photos depict the recycling of LEGO® products where the materials are being separated prior to being recycled as paper, cardboard, plastic etc.
Prior to 2015 the boxes depicted and the LEGO bricks inside them would not have been recycled in this region. From 2015 onwards, these bricks, boxes and other packaging materials have been recycled to reduce the waste of natural resources. The materials will be recycled and come to good use – only not as LEGO bricks.
Every year the LEGO Group manage many LEGO sets and LEGO bricks globally that are not sold to consumers around the world. These stem from LEGO manufacturing sites, damaged boxes that cannot be sold in stores and from boxes that never leave the LEGO Group warehouses for various reasons.
A large part of the bricks from damaged boxes and boxes that never leave the LEGO Group warehouses are donated to charity. This takes place through the LEGO Foundation via Charity Packs to organizations around the world.
In 2014, the LEGO Foundation donated approximately 50 tons of LEGO bricks reaching over 325,000 children in 94 countries.
Sometimes bricks cannot be donated. When that happens, we choose to recycle the materials – as depicted in the images. As mentioned, all the materials will be recycled and come to good use – only not as LEGO bricks.
We are actively exploring alternative opportunities to keep LEGO bricks in play for as long as possible so as not to waste any resources – and as the durability and compatibility of the brick is unique. We will continue to do so in future.
