Tomato sauce turns into plastic: Heinz and Ford collaborate on new research.

  • 2014-07-03

Heinz, the world's largest tomato paste brand, has recently partnered with Ford Motor Company on the development of bioplastics. A press release issued by Ford on June 10, 2014, stated that the collaboration aims to utilize byproducts from Heinz's tomato paste production, transforming them into usable plastic parts for automobiles through bioplastics technology. Because the tomato paste production process generates a large amount of waste tomato peels that cannot be recycled, Ford is developing a mass production technology to convert these peels into materials suitable for wiring harnesses or small storage boxes. Ford's plastics research experts pointed out that the research aims to develop a plastic that meets automotive standards, is lightweight and strong, and reduces the product's negative environmental impact. Although this research is currently in the experimental stage, it is scientifically feasible. Scientists also agree that these technologically transformed and rearranged plant molecules are not as fragile as fruit peels. Just as hardwoods and bamboo are very strong and robust in nature, plant fibers have great potential as raw materials for automotive plastic parts.
