Circularity lies in the details 🕵♂️ Sometimes I get a bit annoyed with how terms like circularity or sustainability are used - in a very broad and utopian phrasing, as something just generally good that you can throw in there. I think this makes people tired of the words and they loose power over time. This is especially true in a business context, you need to break it down to the specifics; for whom are you solving circularity? what is the specific problem you are solving? without answers to these questions circularity and sustainability just become empty promises. The other day, William Bergh, coined the phrase “Circularity lies in the details” which rang very true to me. It is the sum of these small details is what is eventually going to improve circularity on a system level. At Cling Systems we are constantly trying to define the details and the specifics of circularity. S1 is designed with these details in mind. We do however also fall into the trap of being vague and broad - please tell us when we do so that we can be clearer and better contribute to battery circularity🔋

How a energy storage manufacturer cut disposal costs by 14% on 46 tonnes of batteries What do you do when you face pallets of end-of-life batteries that have no clear path forward? You turn to Cling Systems to find a smarter way forward. The result: lower costs, freed-up space and a clear circular outcome. → Read the full case study to see how proper assessment can reveal multiple value pathways for batteries. #casestudy #eolbatteries #circularity #circulareconomy #batteryrecycling

Last week, Cling Systems and Farasis Energy hosted a webinar on designing for circularity. Pascal Hermann and William Bergh discussed pouch-first strategies, recycling approaches, and how new regulations are shaping the future of battery design. 🎥 Missed it? Watch the full conversation, as well as our previous session with Volklec on gigafactories 2.0, on Cling’s YouTube channel or here on LinkedIn. What topics would you like us to cover in the next one?

Can AI make battery transactions more efficient? Selling battery stock usually involves dense technical specs, MSDS sheets, and multiple file formats. Processing this manually takes hours. When uploading battery supply to S1, an integrated AI reads and structures this information in seconds. It extracts capacity, voltage, chemistry, certifications, and more into standardized fields for the user to review and validate. This is just one example of how to use AI to remove friction from battery transactions. We've also developed tools like the Raw Material Estimator and AI Vision Model (more on those here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dd_rFDRU) #AI #BatteryTechnology #Innovation #CleanTech #EnergyTransition

⚙️ Battery design is where it starts, but it’s not where it ends. Choices made at the cell level shape everything: safety, performance, and reuse. And behind every smart design is a strategy – how to scale, meet demand, and reach the right markets. On 30 September at 16:00 CEST, Pascal Hermann from Farasis Energy Europe GmbH will share Farasis’ approach to these challenges in a Webinar, joined by William Bergh from Cling Systems to discuss what it means for the industry. #BatteryDesign #PouchCells #ThermalPropagation #CircularEconomy #Electrification #EnergyStorage #EVBatteries #Sustainability #Innovation #BatteryReuse

Heading to Battery Tech Expo Sweden in October? Cling will be there, with Axel Wimby joining the speaker lineup. He'll share insights from navigating the lithium ion battery market, the realities of surplus and how S1 set the standards the industry is missing. ⏰ 10:20 📅 16th October 2025 📍 Gothenburg, Eriksbergshallen

Everyone in the battery industry should read this. Because idle inventory is bleeding value. The bottleneck in batteries is access. EV and BESS demand keep climbing. Capacity outran adoption, and now we have overcapacity. According to McKinsey, China is responsible for the surplus. Cells, modules, and packs are stranded. But, here is the problem: • The market is illiquid and opaque. • Sellers can’t reach smaller buyers, and buyers get no response. • As a result, buyers have to turn to informal channels. It can feel like hunting in a fog. The deals can take months. Why it matters: • Idle stock loses value through aging and price drift. • Carrying costs compound and assets risk becoming stranded. • Projects slip while usable cells sit on pallets. • Policy shifts flows, but it does not remove surplus. We need shared infrastructure and standard workflows. Valuation. Verification. Marketing. Logistics. Faster matching clears lots and protects value. I partner with Cling Systems to unpack this.
