Abstract The market dynamics, and their impact on a future circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), are presented in this roadmap, with safety as an integral consideration throughout the life cycle. At point of end-of-life (EOL), there is range potential options—remanufacturing, reuse recycling. Diagnostics play significant role evaluating state-of-health condition batteries, improvements to diagnostic techniques evaluated. present, manual disassembly dominates EOL disposal,...

Summary Industrial symbiosis (IS), one of the founding notions within field industrial ecology, has diffused throughout significant parts world as a practice that can reduce ecological impact processes groups firms. In this article, we propose fresh look at research topic, building on considerable advances have been made in last 15 years understanding how IS comes about. We conceptual and theoretical framework for taking challenge comparative analysis global level. This requires developing...

Summary One assumption underlying the work on industrial symbiosis (IS) is that certain social conditions must be fulfilled in order for firms to develop symbiotic linkages. In this article we add depth insight by using institutional capacity as an concept these conditions, and propose such influences IS altering opportunity set of actors. We then test a dataset 233 projects aiming eco‐industrial parks. find link between opportunities linkages perceived actors not always present more...

Summary It has been long recognized in the conceptual literature that industrial symbiosis requires a perspective focuses on long‐term evolution. This not yet matched by adopting an adequate process‐oriented research methodology. article provides underpinnings for such methodology, presents developed event sequence analysis, and shows its added value through set of questions empirical example. how process leads to asking new as well uncovering insights about emergence, evolution, dissolution...

In the literature on collaborative governance, it is often assumed that capacity (i.e., ability of actors to coordinate their activities around public issues in a fashion) primarily generated during process itself. this article, we show can already emerge before start collaborations, form common ground and bridging position some attain through involvement different projects build up collaboration. We introduce conceptual framework captures these dimensions capacity, present findings two case...

The paper sets out to enrich the emerging debate on ‘deep’, transversal transitions. It does so by drawing attention socio-economic developments neglected in Deep Transition (DT) framework of Kanger and Schot, such as marketization, labour contracts becoming more individual precarious, changing human beliefs, aspirations, needs wants important developments. is criticised for neglecting tensions contestations about progress, order distributional issues. This aims complement ‘deep transitions’...

To achieve the transition to sustainable energy and mobility systems, we are relying heavily on critical metals. The extraction, use, circulation of these materials is not straightforward as contestation over social ecological sustainability metals characterised by so-called hype cycles increased decreased legitimacy. This impedes transition. We propose apply a novel approach using event graphs assess metal systems evolving socio-material comparing three longitudinal cases (lithium, cobalt,...
