Sustainability at Mercedes-Benz

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.

Innovation, teamwork & practicality

Here's how we can achieve circularity.

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.

All-electric range.

The progressive and intelligent all-electric models in the Mercedes-Benz range are the ideal entry into a more sustainable electric mobility lifestyle.

Our ambition for sustainability has many circles.

Those interlinked circles, large and small, are part of a wider ecosystem and mindset. Here are a few of them.

beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship

The Innovators of Tomorrow.

Pioneering spirit is in the DNA of Mercedes-Benz. Ever since Carl Benz patented his first automobile in 1886, we have made it our mission to keep reshaping the future.

beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship provides knowledge, coaching and scholarships to help young people develop and implement innovative projects in the areas of environmental protection and decarbonisation.

The programme is implemented by a non-profit organisation and financed by us with donations. The aim is to support up to 1,000 new pioneers every year.
