The company is launching a pilot program named Mattel Playback.
People can send back their old toys to Mattel so they can be reused for future toys. All people need to do is go to Mattel's website, print out a free shipping label, and mail the toys to Mattel.
Toys will be processed and recycled. Materials that can't be reused will be downcycled into other plastic products.
