Matchbox Marks 70th Anniversary With Limited Edition Set Made From Recycled Zinc

Mattel is commemorating the 70th anniversary of its Matchbox brand with a new and limited-edition set of die-cast vehicles built from recycled zinc. In keeping with this, the company's objective is to produce all toys and packaging entirely out of recycled or bio-based plastics by 2030.
