We here at York Ford are proud to serve an American automaker that works so diligently to ensure its lineup is made in the most "green" conditions possible. Ford is always looking to reduce, reuse, and recycle as evidenced by the fact that so many parts and methods of production that they use are often the result of thinking outside the box... Don't believe us? We can think of more than a few right off the bat.

For instance, Ford uses dandelions to create a plant-based rubber for use in their vehicles. The company also recycles Soy and old tires to be made into "green" gaskets. And finally they've made use of plastic bottles in developing new floor mats for future models. Still no convinced of their dedication? Most recently, Ford has toyed with the idea of making seat covers too with the same plastic bottles used for their floor mats.

That's right, Ford has found yet another way to ensure that the production of their vehicles has as little impact on the environment as possible; not that we're surprised or anything.

"REPREVE's fabric is a polyester fiber made from a blend of recycled PET plastic, along with other recycled post-consumer material," explains a Ford press release. "The car will be the first with an interior made with 100 percent clean technology, far exceeding the company's goal of 25 percent clean technology across their whole vehicle line-up."¹
