A new DaimlerChrysler policy requires 30 percent recycled content in all auto parts by 2002. The policy will be adopted in phases: plastic parts must contain 10% this year, and 20% by 2000. There are about 350 pounds of plastic in a typical car. The requirement for metal parts will be higher, but steel commonly has a high recycled content.
