How can I reuse or recycle car bumpers?
We’ve had an email from “Kinjo Jan”, saying:
hello good people, i am new in recycling. would you please tell me if the plastic in the modern cars’ bumpers is recycleable?
That’s a very good question – but I don’t know the answer. I suspect it’s usually fibreglass more than plastic though but may very well be wrong. Does anyone else?
And what about reuses for them?

Most likely yes, because they was made from PP Copolymer, some has been reinforce by adding some filler.
Simple, ask the manufacturer.
