UNECE explores the potential of platforms in spurring the circular economy transition in the EV battery sector

The transition to a circular economy is pivotal for achieving sustainability goals, especially within the clean tech sector. Platforms can play a crucial role in facilitating this transition by connecting stakeholders, streamlining resource flows, and enabling efficient material reuse through the creation and scale-up of marketplaces. For example, in the Electrical Vehicle (EV) battery sector, a linchpin in the clean tech revolution, circular platforms can optimize batteries’ lifecycles by promoting more sustainable design, reuse, including through second-life applications, remanufacturing, and recycling.
