Roasted coffee beans will be used to make auto parts
(HNMO) - Few people think that what goes away after the delicious cup of coffee every morning has become the core material in manufacturing auto parts.
This is the result of Ford's research over many years. As soon as "discovered" the crust of coffee beans can be used for making auto parts, the US automaker turned to the world's leading fast food supplier, McDonald.
Ford will collect food waste from its partner's huge business system, including roasted coffee beans, and put it into its own processing areas to convert into bioplastics instead of landfills. as usual.
Technically, the coffee bean husks after being baked at high oxygen-poor conditions and then mixed with plastic and some other additives will create new materials that can be cast into different shapes. This material meets the quality standards for use in the manufacture of many automotive parts, including particularly effective headlight housing, plastic parts in the engine compartment and interior details ... More valuable, materials made from coffee bean husks have very good heat resistance.
Ford's new innovation comes in the context of the world automobile industry is under great pressure on reducing emissions and increasing production of new electric vehicles. Ford has applied quite a lot of natural-based materials in production, including sponges derived from soy beans.
