You can now send old Barbies and Matchbox cars back to Mattel and they'll turn them into new toys

You no longer need to worry about some of your old toys ending up in landfills — now, there's a way to recycle them. Mattel has launched a recycling program to extend the life of its worn and cast-off toys beyond just one family.  

Mattel announced Monday a "toy take-back program" designed to recover and reuse materials from old Mattel toys to make new ones. The company has a goal of using 100% recycled, recyclable or bio-based plastic materials in all of its products and packaging by 2030.  "Don't let their lessons be lost — give them back," the company says in its video announcement.
