Coca-Cola Supplies Ford Fusion with the Green Tech

Ford and Coca-Cola are cooperating to present the newest in recycling technology by implementing Coke’s ‘PlantBottle’ recycling procedure to create interior details for a Ford Fusion Energi. 

The recycling procedure, which uses plant-based renewable materials, was used to create the interior fabric surfaces that cover the seat cushions, seat backs, head restraints, door panel inserts and headliner in this Fusion Energi. This is the 1st time that Ford’s renewable resource recycling procedure has been used outside of plastic packaging.

Ford announces that if Coke’s PlantBottle derived materials were spread to the majority of its U.S. lineup, the brand could save 4 million lbs. of petroleum-derived materials as well as the equivalent of 296,000 gallons of gasoline and 6,100 barrels of oil.

The Ford Fusion Energi with PlantBottle technology will be showed at the approaching LA Auto Show.
