AT BMW i WE NOT ONLY PIONEER
NEW MATERIALS, WE ALSO TAKE
CARE OF THEIR RECYCLING.
Recycling is a given at BMW i. Production residues from carbon ber
production, carbon components and body parts, for instance, are
valuable materials. That’s why they are either reused as secondary raw
materials for the in-house BMW i production cycle or recycled for other
automotive or non-automotive applications. And the early production
stage of a BMW i3 marks a rst for the automotive industry – the rst
time recycled carbon ber is being used for a vehicle passenger cell.
Together with partners, BMW i is pioneering closed loops for up to
100% of carbon ber from production residues or end-of-life vehicles.
BMW i is also branching out in new directions when it comes to the
recycling of other components and materials. For example, there are
many possible ways to reuse the high-capacity BMW i lithium ion
battery pack. A very simple and effective one is as temporary energy
storage for solar power or wind energy to make renewably produced
energy available when it is needed.
