Hereâs a Tesla we can all actually afford, but good luck getting your hands on it By Pritesh Ruthun Share JOHANNESBURG - Mattel has announced that itâs aiming to manufacture all Matchbox die-cast cars, associated play sets and all packaging with 100% recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic. To mark the occasion, Matchbox will be launching innovative electric vehicles and environments that model the real world (one where fuel pumps are replaced by charging stations). The company says the latest collection of electric vehicles are designed to engage kids in a greener future of driving. The move supports Mattelâs goal to achieve 100% recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic materials across its products and packaging within the next 10 years.
