Thyssenkrupp Steel will supply bluemint® recycled steel to BMW Group for series production of the BMW iX3 beginning in 2026, specifically for outer panels and battery housing. This CO₂-reduced steel offers the same properties as conventional steel and meets stringent quality and safety standards without requiring process changes.

The material is produced using a method that integrates recycled scrap, reducing CO₂ emissions significantly. The use of bluemint® recycled in the iX3's components supports sustainable mobility, while thyssenkrupp aims for carbon-neutral steel production through a new hydrogen-capable reduction plant, targeting full conversion by 2045.
