Most vehicle seats are made with an average of 13 kilograms (30 pounds) of petroleum-based polyol foam. In comparison to them, soy-based form has up to 24 percent renewable content, and it takes less energy to produce and cuts carbon dioxide emissions… Beside soy is a very green, renewable resource… Using soy-based foam gives us the opportunity to conserve natural resources and reduce our environmental footprint… The seats, produced by Lear Corp, will be installed in the cars starting next month and would be part of the Ford truck performance parts for 2008 year models. Ford developed foam with as much as 40 per cent soy-based materials for seat backs and cushions… Which would be very much helpful to the environment.. Good endeavor indeed by Ford…
