Forgive my ignorance, but isn't the point of reusing plastic to prevent or reduce plastic waste and contamination? Not necessarily carbon itself.

Lego already does a great job at reuse, you can just pass it on to the next generation as they last forever anyway.

Yes but lego wants to be carbon neutral
