European Energy A/S oplyser i en pressemeddelelse, at virksomheden har indgået et samarbejde med LEGO og Novo Nordisk med henblik på at erstatte fossilbaseret plast med alternativer som udleder mindre CO2.
Den nye plastik, som er produceret med vedvarende energi og e-metanol, vil indgå i nogle af de produkter som LEGO og Novo Nordisk sælger. Novo Nordisk vil bruge den nye type plastik i deres insulinpenne, og for LEGO gælder det deres LEGO klodser.
European Energy CEO, Knud Erik Andersen, udtaler: “The use of plastic is an integrated part of the modern world, not only in our daily lives but also in industrial processes and equipment. Novo Nordisk and the LEGO Group are already leading the way into the future in various ways, and now even more by joining this cooperation. This is relevant for all industries keen on transitioning away from fossil fuels.”
Dorethe Nielsen, Vice President of Corporate Environmental Strategy hos Novo Nordisk, oplyser: “We wish to drive the decarbonisation of our business forward, and as a producer of plastic devices we wish to reduce the use of fossil plastics by engaging with suppliers in our value chain that can provide the necessary solutions such as e-methanol for plastic production. With our environmental strategy, Circular for Zero, we have set an ambition to have zero environmental impact, and innovation is a key driver to get there.”
Nelleke van der Puil, Vice President of Materials hos LEGO Group, tilføjer: “As part of our commitment to building a sustainable future for children, we have committed to making our products from more sustainable materials. The project will give us our third sustainable material we’ve developed alongside bio-PE and prototype bricks made from recycled PET. This agreement is an exciting step towards our ambition.”
