Two famous American corporate names are collaborating on a venture to use less plastic, save the planet and garner some favorable publicity all at the same time.

The results will be seen at the Los Angeles Auto Show here next week.

Coca-Cola and Ford Motor are working together on making car seat fabric out of recycled plastic soda bottles.

While Ford has long touted how it has made fabric out of recycled plastics, what different now is that Coke is making bottles that combine both plastic and plant-based materials. Since 2009, Coke says it has cranked out 18 billion PlantBottle containers, saving 400,000 barrels of oil in 28 countries combined.
