flag Toyota to use 30% recycled materials in Japanese and European cars by 2030, focusing on metals and plastics.

flag Toyota plans to use at least 30% recycled materials by weight in vehicles sold in Japan and Europe by 2030, focusing on recycled metals and up to 25% recycled plastics. flag The company is redesigning key components like EV batteries, motors, and bumpers for easier disassembly and reuse. flag A breakthrough by its Gosei subsidiary has led to a plastic with 50% recycled content that matches virgin plastic performance, already used in the Euro-market Camry and new RAV4 and Crown Sport models. flag By 2028, Toyota will disclose the recycled content of metals used in its vehicles. flag The move aligns with upcoming EU regulations on recycled content and battery materials. flag While steel recycling is more feasible, plastic recycling remains challenging. flag Other automakers like BMW and Nissan are pursuing similar goals, and regulators are also targeting non-exhaust emissions, prompting innovations like regenerative braking. flag Polestar reports its Polestar 4 has the lowest lifecycle emissions in its lineup due to recycled materials and renewable energy use.
