We know that the automotive industry is moving in a greener direction with the arrival and growth of green vehicles. Ford adds to its legacy of using sustainable materials in its vehicles and becomes the first automaker to use 100% recycled ocean plastics to produce car parts. Wiring harness clips in Ford Bronco™ Sport models are made of ocean-harvested plastic and are as strong as those made from petroleum plastic. The small parts represent a large first step in the company’s plans to produce other parts of recycled ocean plastics on other models.

Ocean plastic is collected by workers in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, promoting healthier marine life, reducing landfill waste and providing jobs. These components help reduce the impact of the 13 million metric tons of plastic dumped into the world’s oceans each year, as estimated by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The introduction of parts made of recycled ocean plastic opens new opportunities and builds on a global effort to help reduce ocean debris that hampers sea life or, when harvested, further clutters landfills.

For more than two decades, Ford has used recycled plastics not collected from oceans to produce various parts for automobiles. Most recently, the automaker used recycled water bottles to produce lightweight, aerodynamic-enhancing, noise-reducing underbody shields on the 2020 Ford Escape.

When you buy a Ford Bronco Sport, not only are you making a eco-friendly choice, but you’re also getting a powerful, rugged and capable SUV.
