Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment Data in Digital Battery Passports to Enhance Sustainability in Automotive Marketplaces

This study explores how integrating data necessary for Life Cycle Assessment into the Digital Battery Passport enhances sustainability and supports circular economy principles in automotive marketplaces dedicated to the exchange of battery components and used batteries. By embedding standardized environmental indicators, the passport improves transparency, enabling stakeholders to assess environmental performance, prioritize sustainable practices, and support recycling and reuse efforts. Taking the perspective of a key player in the battery value chain, the study demonstrates how this integration enhances supply chain sustainability, provides accessible environmental information to customers, and fosters collaboration among stakeholders. Digital Battery Passport can act as a vital tool for advancing circular innovation and creating a more sustainable ecosystem for electric vehicle batteries.
