Ford uses the skin of coffee beans known as coffee chaff that comes off during the coffee roasting process . Reportedly, sprawling awareness between the masses about environmental degradation, sustainable development, carbon footprint and plastic pollution is compelling companies to innovate environment friendly methods of working and make commitments to the public to protect and conserve the environment.
