During this period, BMW Welt will be open to the public daily from 9 in the morning to 8 in the evening.
Focus on the circular economy: workshops, digital live talk and deep dives.
A workshop on the circular economy will take place for the first time at the IAA in BMW Welt’s Junior Campus. In the RE:BMW Circular Lab, anyone aged 12 or over can get hands-on experience of the circular economy in 35-minute sessions, meet four CIRCULAR HEROES and create functional circular products from used plastic. Sustainability and the circular economy also take center stage in the FUTURE FORUM by BMW Welt, the platform for innovative movers and shakers, as part of the IAA. On September 9 at 6 pm, experts from business and politics invite you to a free digital live talk entitled “Reclaim the Future: Let’s Close the Loop: Creating a Circular Economy” to discuss the opportunities and challenges of the circular economy. The FUTURE FORUM by BMW Welt also offers “Genius Sessions” every 30 minutes, held in German and English, in which three topics are examined: “On the Way to Emission-free Mobility”, “Charging Made Easy – The Future is Electric”, and “From Production to Recycling: Sustainability in the BMW Group”.

How can we live more sustainably, conserve resources and at the same time maintain our standard of living? How can mobility help to shape a better future? The new “RE:BMW Circular Lab” workshop in the Junior Campus of BMW Welt will address those questions. This is the first time that the Junior Campus has offered a workshop aimed at youngsters and adults alike. The 35-minute session includes activities relating to circularity. Participants will gain an insight into the BMW Group’s circular design principles and its Circular Heroes. They will then focus on their own lifestyles and how the circular economy can be applied in their day-to-day lives. Finally, they will make functional circular products from used plastic.
Note: Participants can bring clean plastics with them such as screw caps. Plastics labeled HDPE, LDPE or PP are ideal.

To combat climate change, pollution and the consumption levels of a growing population, it will not be enough simply to reduce CO2 emissions. Instead, our economic system must be transformed so that we stop squandering resources and avoid as much waste as possible by recycling all materials. The aim must be to create a circular economy. While the theoretical concept is easy to understand, implementing such a circular system presents challenges. Together with experts from business and politics, we aim to find out what solutions already exist and what needs to be done to help the circular economy make the break-through.
The live stream of the event in English is available free of charge on the website of the FUTURE FORUM by BMW Welt and on the Facebook channel of BMW Welt & BMW Museum.
