Visitors to the British International Motorshow in London's Excel centre look at a Lotus Eco.


The car, which began as an employee recycling initiative, is made with the equivalent of 1700 recycled aluminium cans and 25 percent of the car is made from hemp grown in Norfolk.

The car also has solar panels on the roof to help power its electrical system.
