Likely will rot as it ages and fall apart as it is a biological plant product.
Recall the 'ecowiring', its insulation rotted and was used in Mercedes cars.
Making things greener can have consequences to lifespan. If you also remember mid 1970's GM Cadillacs, the rubberized plastic extrusion moldings between rear fenders and the steel bumpers completely disintegrate. That material was plenty tough when new, and I never could have imagined in 30 year what would happen. The ecowire was failing in about a decade.
These eco plastic parts could make old Fords unsalvageable, unrestorable.
