BMW AG said Tuesday that it plans to use plastic waste from
fishing nets to produce trim parts, such as floor mats, for some of
its sedan and SUV cars.
The German luxury car maker said that from 2025, some models of
its Neue Klasse range will feature trim parts made of plastic from
discarded fishing nets and ropes.
The move is aimed at cutting the company's carbon footprint and
increasing the amount of recycled materials in its vehicle
components.
The recycling process should cut the carbon footprint of each
component by 25%, BMW said.
