Fashion designers turn old car parts into clothing as part of a recycling revolution

If you believe BMW development director Frank Weber, the car is on the verge of yet another revolution.

In addition to digitalisation and electrification, he says, circularity will become an increasingly important feature of vehicles. That means reusing materials that go into making cars.

Motor manufacturers are slowly running out of the raw materials needed to build new cars. There are also issues surrounding the energy expenditure and the carbon footprint involved in producing car parts.

That is why recyclability at the end of a car’s life cycle is becoming increasingly important.
