Seems like even if it's no less carbon intensive to produce them this be way it'd still be 'greener' just by virtue of the fact they're reusing plastic bottles and stopping them just being dumped in landfill.

The skeptic in me wonders if this is just an MBA bullshitting us with this "Actually, its the same carbon output" handwave. Recycling has many other benefits (as you mentioned), and i dont see why the energy to recycle can't come from carbon neutral sources?
Would definitely like more detail from Lego before i take that statement to be truthful.
Bummer, gotta think with a bit more time and research they could used the recycled bottles. Guess the tech just isn't there yet
