Don’t they make their bricks with PLA, which is non-toxic, biodegradable, and made from plants?
Honestly, I don’t care if they defend their trademark. I don’t want to think I’m buying Legos only to get home and find out they were really mislabeled MegaBlocks and won’t fit on any of my other bricks (while looking nearly identical so it’s harder to tell them apart at a glance).
PETG is pretty good. Food safe, higher durability and temperature stability, and can be made from recycled water bottles. But I don’t think Lego uses that…

They’re made out of different types of materials, but the basic bricks are usually made of ABS.

Oh, ABS is one of the worst…
Don’t know where I read they were PLA, I guess I’ve been lied to…
Another, more stable, 3d printing filament called ABS.
Ah. Yeah, ABS is more toxic and a petrochemical.
