Toymaker Lego said on Wednesday it was on track to replace the fossil fuels used in making its signature bricks with more expensive renewable and recycled plastic by 2032 after signing deals with producers to secure long-term supply.

Lego says it is on track to achieve its goal of replacing the oil in its bricks entirely with renewable plastics by 2032, after inking deals with major producers that can provide fossil-free materials for the long term.

Lego, which sells billions of plastic bricks annually, has tested over 600 different materials to develop a new material that would completely replace its oil-based brick by 2030, but with limited success.

The legacy toy company is increasing the certified renewable or recycled materials that go into its bricks in an effort to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

Lego has announced plans to switch the materials in its iconic bricks to more expensive renewable and recycled plastics by 2032. This move is part of Lego's broader effort to become more sustainable,
