BMW i Vision Circular - The interior design

How an automobile can be consistently designed according to the principles of the circular economy is demonstrated by the BMW Group with the BMW i Vision Circular. The overriding design goal of this vision vehicle was to create a vehicle that is optimized for closed material cycles and achieves a quota of 100% recycled materials or 100% recyclability. In addition to bio-based, certified raw materials, materials that have already passed through a product life cycle are used - so-called secondary materials. This also applies to the energy storage: the solid-state battery in the BMW i Vision Circular is 100 percent recyclable and almost entirely made of materials that come from the recycling cycle. At the same time, it will achieve a significantly higher energy density with significantly fewer of the most valuable resources
