Total results returned: 2
The Methods, Tools & Processes for Circular Economy section provides a comprehensive set of resources aimed at fostering sustainability in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. This page features reports, case studies, and research papers focused on circular economy principles, including resource efficiency, waste reduction, recycling, and product life extension. Explore practical tools and strategies that help integrate these principles into EV design and production, contributing to a more sustainable, eco-friendly automotive ecosystem.
Business Models and Ecosystems in the Circular Economy Using the Example of Battery Second Use Storage Systems
This paper explores the secondary use of batteries in stationary energy storage systems (B2U storage systems) proposed for the circularity of electromobility. To implement such systems, a circular business model and a cross-industry ecosystem are required. However, the meaning, scope, and structure of these concepts have received little research to date. To close this gap, a theoretical construct for a circular business model based on the theory of business model, sustainability, circular economy, and ecosystem must be developed.

Ecodesign Guideline Covering Environmental, Material Criticality and Circularity Considerations
The report describes the methodology of the Ecodesign process with a focus on environmental-, criticality- and circularity considerations concerning the RHODaS integrated motor drive (IMD). A Life cycle assessment (LCA) screening according to the ISO 14040/44 standard is performed for the environmental consideration. Within the project 30 % of the total IMD's Global Warming Potential (GWP) should be reduced. The methodology for circularity and criticality is roughly presented and still under development. Reference products and intended improved solutions, needed for later assessments, are described as far as possible. Furthermore, conceptual material/product selection matrixes, as part of the Ecodesign Guideline are presented.
