"Did you know the world’s largest tyre manufacturer rolls out over 300-million
units each year, some 50 per cent more than the number-two producer? No, it’s
not Dunlop, Michelin or Goodyear... the world’s largest tyre producer is Lego.
As part of the Danish company’s goal to remove fossil fuels from the plastic in
its construction bricks by 2032, Lego has turned its eye to the rubber in its
tyres and created a new material that uses recycled waste products.
Over 30 per cent of the new tyres are made up from repurposed fishing nets,
marine rope and used motor oil. The rubber will form seven unique tyre pieces,
with some of the new tyres already rolled out into sets.
Lego plans to use the new compound tyres in up to 120 sets by the end of 2025."
