Tomorrow drives Mercedes-Benz

Putting circularity at the centre of our world.

We want a more sustainable future. Circularity helps us achieve this by keeping as much as possible in the loop. That means driving down our use of resources and minimising waste. It means using more recycled materials and making our cars even easier to repair. And it means making sure as much as possible is recycled at the end of a long life. Here's how we do all that.

Making a difference

Let's look at how we work towards closing loops.

The life cycle of a Mercedes-Benz has three main phases. First, we design and produce our cars – with maximum recycled and renewable materials and minimum waste. Then, you drive them for many years – with our support. Finally, we close the loop by making sure that what went into them is recovered, recycled and used again. We call this the circular economy. So, let's break that down.

Circularity in the EQE SUV

Let's take a closer look.

With every new model, we strive to close more loops. The EQE SUV is just one example. The EQE 350+ contains 132 components with a combined weight of 65.1 kilograms that can be produced entirely or in part using resource-saving materials including plastic recyclates and renewable raw materials. In addition, many of its metal components are produced with recycled content.
