Ford makes “greener” vehicles with renewable and recyclable materials

DEARBORN, MICHIGAN (BNO NEWS) – Ford announced Tuesday that their vehicles are becoming “greener” by using an increased amount of renewable and recyclable materials.

Examples of these eco-friendly initiatives are the soy and bio-based seat cushions and seatbacks on the 2010 Ford Taurus.

According to their report, Ford vehicles are now 85 percent recyclable by weight, and in 2009, Ford saved approximately $4.5 million by using recycled materials, diverting between 25 and 30 million pounds of plastic from landfills in North America alone.
