Circular Economy
in the Automotive Industry
Is Gaining Momentum

For some years now, the automotive industry has been pursuing new approaches in the field of material procurement and recycling, as it gradually undergoes a transformation towards to a circular economy. This development is being driven by high material costs and political constraints. A new EU regulation in particular is exerting pressure. But regardless of this, players in the industry are also searching for solutions. The recycling of electric vehicles, and especially their drive batteries, is playing a key role.
