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.
To start with, the chaff molded and is going to be recycled to headlamp housings for Ford merchandise, which will create components and, consequently, improve the automobiles’ efficiency.
Both companies want to carry on collaborating with one another for a more sustainable future.

It might sound ambitious but, at Ford, the idea of using coffee to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars is no laughing matter. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
