The first Formula E car made from electronic waste has gone on display at Cop28 in Dubai, UAE.

The car was unveiled by Formula E team Envison Racing in July 2023 and will be on display for the entirety of the climate conference, from 30 Nov to 12 Dec.

The drivable car, named Recover-e, is made entirely out of electronic waste such as vapes, iPhones, and patched-up circuit boards, donated by young people and charity partners.

Envision Racing plans to use the car to “showcase the sport of Formula E more widely and its power to influence climate change.”
