Circular Economy & Data: The New Battery Ecosystem
summary
Current EV batteries are shredded and heated to 1,400°C with cobalt and nickel recovered and the rest landfilled; the session asserts a profitable circular loop is possible by combining digital product passport records, digital twins that log charge history, and semantic AI knowledge graphs so algorithms (and GPT-style agents) can assess remaining capacity and resale value. A working SAP-backed prototype exposes a material account for lithium/cobalt flows, supports logistics and payments for recycled material, and is already piloted as a demonstrator tied to upcoming EU battery passport rules.
