Jose Cuervo drives a Ford

Ford is partnering with tequila maker, Jose Cuervo to explore how agave plant byproducts can be used to develop sustainable bioplastics used in vehicle interior and exterior components.

Initial tests suggest agave remnant fiber is extremely durable and offers aesthetic qualities.

Agave is a plant used to make tequila. It takes seven years to grow to maturity, and once harvested, the heart of the plant is roasted and is ground to extract its juices for distillation.

The remaining agave fibers have been used for a wide range of applications including for compost on farms, arts and crafts,  and making paper.

Hemp makes great rope so I imagine it has pretty decent fiber in it too. Let me know when I can start growing. I guess ill look into that agave plant too.

Lol, right?

Not to mention it doesn't surprise me that mexicans are leading the way with interior advancements.

Well, it's Sunday mornin' and the sun in shinin'
In my eye that is open and my head is spinnin'
Was the life of the party, I can't stop grinnin'
I had to much tequila last night

Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine


Sounds like a Ferd driver to me
