Toyota: Now Even Greener on the Inside

2010 Toyota Prius

Toyota plans to move in an even more environmentally conscious direction in the years ahead by increasing the use of plant-based "green" plastics in its vehicle interiors. The advantage offered by these materials is that they emit less global-warming carbon dioxide than traditional petroleum-based plastics during a product's life cycle. They also serve to reduce petroleum use.

Look for the redesigned 2010 Toyota Prius to feature a generous serving of these environmentally friendly bioplastics.
