Smart Recycling: Ford’s 2015 F-150 Use Four Blends of Aluminum
Smart Recycling: Under the advanced recycling plan, pneumatic scrap handling equipment will separate the four types of aluminum alloy.
Ford’s 2015 F-150 will use four blends of aluminum alloy that will be separated and returned to suppliers for recycling.

Clark Construction representatives turned over the sword to the Historic Arkansas Museum.
