A method of recycling and reusing a tap water-soluble sulfonated polymer material from a structural component made using an additive manufacturing process comprises dissolving the structural component in water to disperse the sulfonated polymer material into the water. The sulfonated polymer material is precipitated from the water and recovered; then dried and reformed into a form suitable for subsequent use as a consumable feedstock in a subsequent additive manufacturing process.

Provided are a binder resin composition for toner excellent in low-temperature fusing property, storage stability and durability, a toner for developing electrostatic images that contains the binder resin composition for toner, and a method for producing the binder resin composition for toner. The binder resin composition for toner contains a resin composition (C-P) prepared by condensing an acid group-having crystalline resin (C) and a polyalkyleneimine, and an amorphous resin (A).
