Lego announced 14 September that it is investing another $400 million in its sustainability efforts and it will stop using plastic packaging in its packs, using a paper bag instead to hold small pieces within its cardboard box outer packaging.

"It supports relationships with existing customers, while also creating additional opportunities for growth and expanding our customer base," Nolato President and CEO Christer Wahlquist said.

Nearly 80 percent of the plastics industry in the United Kingdom said it expects sales to drop during the next six months because of the coronavirus outbreak, according to a survey by the British Plastics Federation.
