The discarded nylon fishing nets are collected and this plastic “is washed of seawater, dried, and extruded to form small pellets, which are then injection-molded by supplier HellermannTyton into the desired clip shape,” explains Ford. These clips weigh around five grams and are fastened to the sides of the Bronco Sport’s second-row seats to guide wires that power the side-curtain airbags. As commendable as this is, it’s only the start. Ford intends to make use of more parts produced from recycled ocean plastics, “including transmission brackets, wire shields, and floor side rails.” So there you have it; going green doesn’t have to mean driving an EV.
