The BMW Group is increasing its efforts to combat climate change by introducing Neue Klasse, to significantly reduce CO2 emissions for the limitation of global warming.

The Neue Klasse will also see the BMW Group hugely increase its use of secondary materials with a firm focus on the principles of the circular economy, whilst also promoting better framework conditions for establishing a market for secondary materials. To achieve a further reduction in CO2 emissions, the focus is on the utilisation phase of vehicles, which account for 70% of the BMW Group’s CO2 footprint. By 2030, the CO2 emissions per vehicle and kilometre driven will be at least halved from 2019 levels.

The mining and trading of conflict materials carries the possible risk of associated infringements of environmental and social standards. The BMW Group has established numerous measures to counteract this risk, including membership of the Responsible Minerals Initiative.

The BMW Group aims to increase the percentage of secondary materials in its vehicles. Based on the four principles RE: THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, RE:CYCLE, the BMW Group is boosting its activities in the field of circular economy, an area where it is carrying out pioneering work.

Secondary materials are increasingly being used in BMW Group vehicles. One example is the company’s pilot project with BASF and the ALBA Group for the increased recycling of plastics used in cars. The aim of the project is to reduce the use of primary plastics by means of a comprehensive recycling system. The ALBA Group analyses end-of-life BMW Group vehicles to establish whether a car-to-car reuse of the plastic is possible.

The BMW Group is putting circular economy at the centre of its presence at the IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich, where the company will offer a visionary outlook on the potentials of a circular economy and sustainable mobility.
