CIRCULARITY

RE:THINK, RE:DUCE, RE:USE, RE:CYCLE.

MINI Vehicle Footprint - Circular Economy

We adhere to these principles of circularity in order to conserve natural resources and retain high-quality materials in circulation over the long term. We therefore use secondary materials in new components. In addition, we are also increasing the recyclability of components through the design process and in product development.

The new MINI Cooper E has a calculated secondary material content of approx. 9 %. This value has been calculated at its start of production in 2023 based on specific supplier records and average industry values and also includes production residues.

SECONDARY MATERIALS ARE TO BE FOUND IN A RANGE OF AREAS OF THE MINI COOPER E:

The cells of the High-voltage battery contain approx. 10% secondary material, thereof approx. 35 % is secondary nickel and approx. 35 % is secondary cobalt.

Depending on the material, the use of secondary materials can make a major contribution to reducing the CO2e footprint.

RECYCLABILITY OF THE MINI COOPER E.

In relation to the entire vehicle, at least 85% of materials are recycled and, including thermal utilisation, at least 95% as stipulated by legal requirements (European End-of-Life Vehicles Directive ELV 2000 /53 /EC). And, in accordance with current regulations, we also currently take back and recycle used vehicles at over 2,800 redemption points in 30 countries.
