If it makes you feel better, lego is actively chasing this out and switching to paper packaging! I've started to see it more and more on newer sets.

At least they've stuck with cardboard + paper packaging on everything else from the start.

Though, the fact lego is in of itself plastic sorta will always be an inherent problem... lol

Since they're using ABS they have done some experiments with using recycled plastic. I think the biggest challenge is to get the quality to their standard. I don't think they made any pledges (didn't bother to check either) but they are at least testing the waters!

Non-single-use plastic isn't really a problem. It's no worse than equivalent metal parts.
