This is a very neat method as to how the Ford Motor Company recycles it’s clay scraps from it’s current clay models into blocks of recycled clay for use on future clay models.

Modeling clay is a favorite of many children, who can craft, re-craft and recycle the pliable stuff over many years. While a bit more advanced, Ford has employed a similar idea with the clay it uses to model future vehicles: craft, re-craft and then recycle, the latter to the tune of nearly 5,000 pounds of clay each year.
