Q. What materials are used in the manufacturing of toy trucks?

Answer

Aside from plastic wood and rubber toy trucks also make use of fabrics metal and other non-plastic elements. Most toys however are made from plastic with polyolefins (PET PP PEVA etc.) styrene-derived polymers (PS ABS SB etc.) and plasticized PVC being the most common types of plastic used. Throughout the twentieth century but notably in the 1950s the plastics sector saw a period of rapid development. Due to its low price malleability and ability to be molded into a wide variety of shapes plastic has been a mainstay in the toy business from the beginning. At the century's close as interest in biodegradable polymers increased gasoline costs fell. This trend has reversed in recent years.
