The raw materials obtained are direct BMW’s own production of battery cells will be reused. This method will reduce energy consumption and minimize waste production. To implement the new method, BMW is building a new factory in Kirchroth, Bavaria, Germany. This newly established facility will enable the recycling of approximately 50 tons of materials per year. The company wants to complete the facility in the second half of 2025 and has allocated a budget of 10 billion euros for this project.

This method, which is expected to bring significant benefits both environmentally and economically, could also reduce battery production costs in the future.
