Toyota Unveils Innovative New Recycling Technology

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announced today that, as part of its Toyota Eco-Project, it has developed jointly with the Toyota Central Research & Development Laboratories, Inc. a new technology for recycling repaired or repainted bumpers made of Toyota Super Olefin Polymer (TSOP).
