How to overcome the battery recycling challenge

As the shift toward e-mobility and clean energy gains momentum, I’ve come to see battery recycling as more than just a sustainability initiative. It’s now a strategic imperative — one that’s essential for securing critical materials, strengthening supply chain resilience, and staying competitive in an increasingly volatile market. But there’s a growing challenge we can’t ignore. Even though global recycling capacity is expanding, the availability of feedstock isn’t keeping pace. Slower EV adoption, longer battery lifespans, and delays in giga factory ramp-ups are all contributing to this imbalance — putting pressure on profitability and making investment decisions more complex. In our latest study, *The Battery Recycler Challenge*, I explore how we, as recyclers and industry leaders, can: 💡 Rethink business and ownership models to secure feedstock and mitigate risk   💡 Harness digital twins, AI, and automation to streamline operations   💡 Collaborate across the value chain to build a circular, resilient ecosystem   🔗 https://lnkd.in/e65ZMzrw So, how is your organization preparing for the next phase of battery circularity? If you’re still figuring it out, come meet us at @IAA Mobility. I’ll be at booth B22 in Hall B1 from September 9–12, where we’ll be showcasing our latest innovations—from ADAS and AI-powered in-car entertainment to supply chain transformation. We’ll also be unveiling our newest industry research.
