Ford is looking to associate with McDonald’s to recycle the husk of coffee beans that peels away during ingestion, coffee chaff.
“By heating the chaff to high temperatures under low oxygen, mixing it with plastic and other additives and turning it into pellets, the material can be formed into various shapes,” Ford told The Verge.

Both companies want to carry on collaborating with one another for a more sustainable future.
