The Danish toymaker is investing £310m in efforts to create its colourful bricks using sustainable materials, but its quest to find an alternative to oil-based plastic has been quite difficult so far.
這家丹麥玩具製造商正投資3.1億歐元，努力創造使用永續材質的多彩積木，但它尋找能取代油基塑膠的替代方案之路，到目前為止還很艱難。
For five years, a team of more than 150 engineers and scientists have been testing many different plant-based and recycled materials - but making sure the bricks can stick together while coming apart easily has been a challenge.
5年來，一支超過150名工程師與科學家參與的團隊，已經測試過許多不同基於植物與可回收的材質，但要確保積木既能夠黏在一起，又能輕鬆分開，仍然是個挑戰。
Lego executive Tim Brooks said the company has been testing how to use bio-polyethylene, a type of plastic made from ethanol that’s produced using sugarcane, for its hard bricks.
樂高執行長提姆．布魯克斯說，該公司已經著手測試如何使用生物聚乙烯，這是一種由甘蔗生產的乙醇製成的塑膠，製造它的堅固積木。
Lego has also announced that it’s going to ditch plastic bags in its boxed sets, which are currently used to hold loose bricks.
樂高也宣布，它將拋棄盒裝組合內，目前用於盛裝散裝積木的塑膠袋。
