Creating a circular marketplace for electric vehicle batteries in Europe can serve vital economic, environmental and strategic goals.

As Europe produces large volumes of battery waste, including a growing number of EV batteries, circular models can greatly reduce waste through reuse, refurbishing and recycling instead of landfilling. This also conserves finite battery resources like lithium, cobalt and nickel which require intensive mining and processing. Circular approaches lower the carbon footprint by reducing emissions from materials extraction, processing and disposal. Furthermore, battery circularity bolsters domestic supply chains and reduces reliance on imported battery materials and cells, providing Europe with greater strategic control. Reusing and extending battery life through circular models also allows Europe to capture more economic value before material recycling.
