Dearborn, Mich. -- U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co. said it was reaching into the clothing discard pile for sound-proofing material for the Ford Focus.
"One of our key goals is to use more recycled or renewable materials without compromising performance or durability. Recycled content is a way to divert waste from landfills and reduce the impact of mining virgin material," said Ford's product sustainability manager Carrie Majeske in a statement.
Ford has tried using recycled materials, turning to soy foam for seat cushions and recycled resin for underbody systems. The automaker has also used recycled yarn for seat covers.

Toronto -- NHL general managers have rejected the idea of instituting a coach's challenge option on disputed goals, Florida GM Dale Tallon said Tuesday.
Tallon had suggested the league institute a procedure similar to the NFL in which coaches are allowed to issue one challenge per game to dispute officials' rulings on questionable goals.
The issue seemed to pick up steam following an Oct. 26 incident in which a goal by Toronto's Colton Orr was allowed to stand despite replays showing he interfered with Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen before the puck crossed the goal line, NHL.com reported.

Detroit -- The chairman of a national U.S. auto dealers association said the Obama administration's new fuel standards goals were too ambitious.
Speaking to an Automotive Press Association audience at the MGM Grand in Detroit, National Automobile Dealers Chairman Ed Tonkin said, "We would all like to believe consumers would be willing to pay whatever it takes to reach such a worthy goal.
But will they? Or is this another example of getting ahead of the consumer?"
The Obama administration is studying a proposal to have auto maker fleets reach an average fuel efficiency rating of 60 miles per gallon by 2025. The current goal for the industry is to obtain an average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.
