Two years after announcing the company would use recycled plastic bottles to make bricks for their toy products as part of its sustainability program, Lego said today they will not continue. As it turns out, the company’s tests showed their production increased, rather than reduced, carbon emissions. CNN reports:

…Lego has found that making bricks from the recycled material would require investing in new equipment and involve more steps, which would ultimately lead to more planet-heating pollution than the status quo, a company spokesperson told CNN Monday.
