Auto major Ford has unveiled its plans to recycle nearly 2 million plastic bottles being sent into landfills. The plastic bottles will be processed into REPREVE recycled fibers, which will be used in the manufacturing of seat fabric for its new vehicles.

The car maker will collect plastic bottles throughout the year, beginning with the North American International Auto Show and Consumer Electronics Show in the US.

Nearly 22 recycled plastic bottles are used in the making of the seat fabric of each car, said Ford. It will reduce the waste disposal problem pertaining to plastic bottles, including PET bottles.

The firm has adopted a plan to use minimum of 25% recycled materials for all 2009 and beyond model year vehicles.
