Honda has developed a plant-based material to be used as a fabric in car interiors. The new fabric offsets all CO² emissions produced during the disposal stage of the car, through the CO² absorption that occurs naturally during the growth of the plants that are used as raw materials.

The new fabric will be first introduced into Honda's new fuel cell vehicle, the Honda FCX, which will be launched within the next three years. Honda says that the fabric could be used for seat surfaces as well as for the interior surfaces of the car.

Honda has revealed more information on Honda FCX at the Geneva International Motor Show.
