Ford’s Newest Sustainability Efforts

May 24, 2016

#Ford is committed to reducing our planetary impact. Watch how we’re testing making vehicle plastics from CO2.https://t.co/s15SxP76oV— Ford Motor Company (@Ford) May 17, 2016

“Carbon emissions and climate change are of growing concern to world leaders as a staggering 2.4 million pounds of CO2 are released into the atmosphere globally per second. Plastic manufacturing accounts for nearly 4 percent of the world’s oil use, according to British Plastic Federation. Ford researchers are hopeful the company’s early steps to use captured carbon in innovative ways will help achieve the long-term goals to reduce global warming recently set in the UN Paris Agreement.”

The above comes from a Ford press release from earlier this month that discusses the manufacturer’s endeavors to make foam and plastic out of carbon dioxide. Such endeavors stand to save about 600 million pounds of petroleum per year.
