Here's a little more:
At Kodak, they mold the bodies in polystyrene, and they regrind them and mold them again after they are collected for processing of the film. The lenses, I believe, are reused if they pass inspection for scratches or other damage. I believe the lenses are acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate), but polystyrene is a possibility.
You might get more information of the type you're seeking from the Kodak and Fuji corporate websites.
