Ford is making its vehicles more eco-friendly through the increased use of renewable and recyclable materials such as the soy and bio-based seat cushions and seatbacks on the 2010 Ford Taurus. Ford vehicles are now 85% recyclable by weight and in 2009, the company says it saved approximately $4.5 million by using recycled materials and diverted between 25 and 30 million pounds of plastic from landfills in North America alone.
