To maximise the resource efficiency of electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), their lifetimes can be extended through cascading second- and third-life applications. Using expert input, this study establishes a conceptual model for understanding these applications’ state of health (SOH) thresholds and user requirements. Using a qualitative methodology, including focus group discussions with multistakeholder experts and policy analysis of the European battery regulatory landscape, we propose extending LIB use. Our model outlines potential second- and third-life applications aiming to maximise battery value retention. The findings highlight gaps in current European Union regulations that inadequately support battery-repurposing strategies. The conceptual model with an SOH threshold and key performance indicators serves as a foundation for researchers and industries to explore cascading battery applications, foster long-term resource efficiency and contribute to the circular economy by extending LIB lifespans through repurposing initiatives.

To neutralize anthropogenic climate impacts, excess carbon dioxide (CO2) – about 400 Gt of carbon – needs to be removed from the atmosphere. After the energy transition is accomplished, we propose that excess renewable energy can be used to extract CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into methane or methanol, which are further processed into polymers, hydrogen, and solid carbon. End-of-life polymers are pyrolysed and part of the carbon is used to produce silicon carbide. Solid carbon and silicon carbide become then aggregates and fillers for concrete and asphalt. At the end of their lifecycle, landfilled construction materials become the final carbon sink. Up to 12 Gt of carbon could be stored per year, mostly as concrete aggregates. The synthesis of carbon-based materials in cycles of increased chemical reduction has multiple advantages, including long-term stability, high storage density of the carbon, decentralized implementation, and replacement of current CO2-emitting materials.

To maximize circularity, remaining value in electric vehicle (EV) batteries can be retained through deploying different strategies such as reusing and repurposing to enable second life applications before they are recycled. Since EV battery ecosystems for the so-called battery second life are at early, emergence stages, they are characterized by uncertainties and high complexity. Despite previous analyses on the topic, collaboration in terms of roles, hierarchies, as well as the circular ecosystem dynamics remain unclear. We thus conduct a systematic literature review, applying a complex adaptive systems lens to map the literature concerning the three core dimensions of ecosystems: conceptual, structural, and temporal. Results point to the need to collaborate to enable circular ecosystems for EV battery second life, but also hint to high diversity of actors- over 40 types of actors potentially relevant for EV battery second life ecosystems – and various challenges for collaboration in such ecosystems.

In pursuit of greenhouse gas emissions reductions, the environmental systems community has developed material flow analyses to describe the transformation of resources into goods, while the manufacturing technology community has developed innovations that can affect the production of individual components. However, these two communities have remained disconnected, because neither is able to relate their insights to their point of common interest: the global production of components. For the first time, this paper connects global analyses of the use of steel and aluminium to the production of components, classified by the metal forming processes which shape them. The results demonstrate the proportions of steel and aluminium used in ten distinct component groups, at global level, and for the major product groups which drive demand for these two metals. This helps both to prioritise requirements for innovation in design and manufacturing and to evaluate of the emissions potential of such innovations.

Providing effective solid waste and resources management (SWM) is essential to tackle plastics pollution, reduce carbon emissions and local air pollution from open burning, avoid disease spreading and enable circularity. Official development finance (ODF) is vital in providing relevant infrastructure and capacity development. We developed a novel standardised methodology to analyse OECD ODF data and applied it to 2003–2021, offering insights on the scale, flows and changes in SWM ODF. Despite an 8-fold increase, SWM-focused ODF is still very low, representing just 0.41 % of all ODF; and an order of magnitude less than water and sanitation ODF. Low-income countries received only 8 % of SWM ODF. Total commitments in 2021 were ca. 1.8 Billion USD - significantly short of the >30 Billion USD investment estimated as necessary for substantially reducing plastics pollution. The multi-lateral environmental agreement under negotiation (‘Plastics Treaty) needs to set ambitious targets for ODF and wider international co-operation.

The conventional wet process for P recovery from sewage sludge incineration ash (SSIA) demands substantial chemicals (e.g., acids and alkalis for subsequent P extraction and precipitation) and water, causing economic and environmental drawbacks. We minimized them by employing concrete slurry wastewater (CSWW) as alkali and water sources, achieving over 90 % P recovery at pH 7. The P product contained ∼ 12 % P and low metal contaminants, meeting the regulations for inorganic fertilizer. Powder X-ray diffraction and chemical equilibrium simulations revealed that the product comprised hydroxyapatite crystal (HAp) and amorphous CaHPO4, forming at pH ∼ 4 and partially converting to HAp at higher pH. The supernatant was utilized in subsequent P extraction cycles to conserve water. By-products were assessed for hazard and recycled into cementitious materials, adhering to the zero waste principle. This study exemplifies the synergy between P recovery from SSIA and cementitious material production, transforming wastes into valuable resources.
从污水污泥焚烧灰(SSIA)中回收 P 的传统湿法工艺需要大量的化学品(如用于后续 P 提取和沉淀的酸和碱)和水,造成了经济和环境方面的弊端。我们采用混凝土泥浆废水(CSWW)作为碱源和水源,最大限度地减少了这些问题,在 pH 值为 7 的条件下,实现了超过 90% 的 P 回收率。粉末 X 射线衍射和化学平衡模拟显示,产品由羟基磷灰石晶体(HAp)和无定形 CaHPO4 组成,在 pH 值为 4 时形成,pH 值较高时部分转化为 HAp。上清液用于后续的磷萃取循环,以节约用水。对副产品进行了危险性评估,并将其回收利用到水泥基材料中,以实现零废物原则。这项研究体现了从 SSIA 中回收 P 与生产水泥基材料之间的协同作用,将废物转化为有价值的资源。

The current recycling methods to recover metal contents from electronic wastes (e-wastes) are primarily chemical based, such as hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy. These methods typically do not involve pre-treatments to remove non-metallic components, which causes increasing reagent and energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emission during recycling. Mechanical methods exploiting differences in material properties, such as gravity, magnetic, electrostatic, can achieve pre-treatment which receive increasing attention. Amongst different mechanical methods, froth flotation utilizing surface hydrophobicity to achieve the desired separation appears to receive less attention but can be very promising to recycle a variety of e-wastes. In this work, the challenges and advances in the recovery of metals from three main e-wastes, including spent lithium-ion batteries (S-LIBs), waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), and spent photovoltaic solar panels (S-PVs), using flotation were reviewed. The work also conducted a life cycle analysis to assess the environmental impact of flotation in recycling these e-wastes. According to TRACI standards, flotation reagents have the highest environmental impact compared to electricity and water consumption. The study suggests that flotation can serve as an effective pre-treatment operation prior to the chemical treatment to improve the overall the e-waste recycling but future research is still needed.

Sustainable supply of different ores is essential for our economic system to move toward low carbon transition. However, few studies focus on uncovering the key determinants on the supply disruption of such ores. This study investigates the key determinants that influenced the disruption of 18 types of ores’ production from 2010 to 2022 through the combination of web crawler, AI-text classification and manual processing methods. Results show that determinants such as politics, natural disasters, strikes and protests, economy, and energy, play crucial roles. Specifically, these determinants have different impacts in different countries and therefore require different policy designs, such as environmental protection policy (in China influencing Zinc, Tungsten, Molybdenum, and Iron), banning resource export (in Indonesia influencing Nickel and Tin), domestic risks (in Democratic Republic of Congo influencing Copper and Cobalt), extreme climate disasters (in Australia—influencing Iron, Aluminum, and Gold, and in Chile—influencing Copper and Lithium), natural disaster (in South Africa—influencing Chromium, Manganese, Platinum, Gold, and Fe, and in Chile—influencing Copper and Lithium), and strike and protests (in Peru—influencing Copper, Silver, and Zinc, and in South Africa—influencing Platinum and Gold). These findings can help stakeholders better prepare their strategies to improve the overall resilience of the entire ores supply chain and facilitate the global low carbon transition. Several policy recommendations are then proposed to improve sustainable supply of key minerals.

The development of battery materials and pack structures is crucial for enhancing electric vehicle (EV) performance and adoption. This study examines the impact of Ni-rich cathode materials and advanced cell-to-pack (CTP) designs on the energy and environmental sustainability of power batteries. A correlation equation that links energy consumption with curb weight and ambient temperature was established to accurately assess energy consumption during the usage stage of EVs. High-nickel, low-cobalt lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxides (NCM) batteries demonstrated superior life cycle environmental performance, primarily due to the significant environmental impacts of CoSO4 production. However, the benefits of CTP batteries over traditional cell-to-module (CTM) batteries are minimal. In southern provinces of China, abundant clean energy for electricity generation can reduce the life cycle carbon footprint of power batteries by over 70 % compared with northern provinces, highlighting the importance of transitioning to clean energy sources for sustainable EV industry development.
