The sound-absorbing material used in car doors of General Motors Co.’s vehicles continues to insulate against more than noise.
The automaker once again donated 2,000 yards of Sonozorb to the non-profit group Empowerment Plan, which will weave it into warm coats that double as sleeping bags for the homeless.
A team of nine seamstresses – once homeless themselves – will get a lot more miles out of GM’s scrap material. The donation is enough to insulate about 400 more coats for distribution nationwide. Last year, left-over Sonozorb from the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick Verano was stitched into the all-in-one coats and sleeping bags for homeless people in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, New York and Oregon.
