Ford is planning to make car parts from a new kind of plastic polymer made from emissions. For the last four years, the U.S. carmaker has been working with a manufacturer to develop a CO2-based foam, and soon a plastic, that can eventually replace parts made from petroleum. The shift could reduce petroleum use by more than 600 million pounds a year. There’s 30 pounds of foam in a typical vehicle, and 300 pounds of plastic.
