BMW Recycling.
Your BMW is the product of a comprehensive recycling concept. But what exactly does that mean in
practice? It meansthat all the requirements of recycling are taken into account from the start, in the initial
development ofa BMW. One example is the choice of materials carefully selected to preserve resources
and ensure efficient recycling compatible with the environment. Each BMW is designed and built for
simple and economic recycling after its – long – running life. We have been collecting the know-how
required for this purpose ever since 1994 at the unique BMW Recycling and Dismantling Centre (RDC)
near Munich. So please contact your BMW partner on all matters regarding your end-of-life vehicle.
He will be happy to advise.
