Product stewardship has an instrumental role to play in the transition to a circular economy. The multi-sector organisation Battery Industry Group (B.I.G.) are following this route to a circular value chain-- starting with solutions for large batteries that will be nearing their end-of-life very soon.
Read on for further details about this webinar.
There is no one single path to becoming circular; adopting a range of tools and approaches is the way to achieving a truly circular economy. For very large batteries, product stewardship is an ideal approach for enabling a more circular model through battery reuse and extension of battery life.
In ten years, 84,000 EV batteries will come to their end-of-life—B.I.G. are putting in the massive work required to find a circular solution through the design of a product stewardship scheme.
Featuring B.I.G. as a case study, Vector’s Juhi Shareef shares the key elements needed to build a product stewardship scheme that accounts for an extensive value chain including transport, energy, waste, and battery industries in this webinar recording hosted by thinkstep-anz’s Barbara Nebel. Moreover, discover the meaning of circular product stewardship and how it supports the much-needed transition to a circular economy.
The webinar covers:
- The role of product stewardship in a circular economy
- Key elements to build a product stewardship scheme that spans across different sectors
- Case study of developing a product stewardship scheme for batteries
