BMW is the world`s leading carmaker in the auto industry, which besides building the best cars and adopting the best policies on that matter, it is also a leader when it comes to recycling.

The videos below are showing the process of striping of the old cars, starting with safely removing the airbags and draining all the fluids, and keeping up with the melting of the steel and aluminum parts. After that, the recycling process starts.
The good part is that the BMW i3 and i8 hybrids can also be recycled, with the carmaker using almost 95 percent of their parts, especially since we are dealing here with the carbon fiber composite used to build them.
