Parts of Your Future Ford Could Be Made From Olive Trees

Olive trees bear a fruit that is consumed all over the world, as snacks, oil and tapenades. Ford has explored how using branches, twigs and leaves that are discarded during harvest for more sustainable auto parts.
The trial was conducted as part of the COMPOlive project that is committed to delivering environmental change in olive production, using biocomposites instead of plastic, and supporting the circular economy.
Using olive tree waste for auto parts could both reduce the plastic used in such parts and support cleaner air in the local area by avoiding burning as a means of waste disposal.
