Circulor

In our last newsletter of the year we look back at the defining moments of 2024 and the outlook for 2025 towards creating resilient, transparent, and responsible supply chains. We wish you an enjoyable holiday season. Thank you for your interest and collaboration in 2024, and we look forward to more in the New Year. Season’s greetings.

Thanks to The Climate Compass for spotlighting Circulor as one of the influential companies working toward climate resilience and global decarbonization. Great to also see our partners Cyclic Materials included here! Check out the report below...

Thrilled to partner with Cyclic Materials on the world’s first end-to-end traceability of rare earth elements (REEs)! Traceability is essential when it comes to scaling critical metals recycling technologies, including rare earths, cobalt and copper, given the need to prove responsible, sustainable, and resilient sourcing of these materials. Circulor's PROVE platform collates granular production, traceability, and carbon emissions data from Cyclic Materials’ facilities to create digital product passports (DPPs) for recycled REEs. This provides proof of recycled content specifics and origin of the materials to automotive, renewable energy, and consumer electronics customers.

Rare Earth Transparency is an Economic Imperative. Thanks to Waste360 for featuring Circulor’s collaboration with Cyclic Materials to implement the world’s first end-to-end traceability of REEs. REEs are vital ingredients to critical infrastructure, especially amid the urgent shift to clean energy technologies. Ensuring these supplies are resilient, reliable, and sustainable requires innovative recycling solutions, like those pioneered by Cyclic Materials, combined with material traceability. Our partnership sets a new standard for transparent REE recycling that demonstrates a shift toward more responsible sourcing. It provides automotive, renewable energy, and consumer electronics industries with verifiable proof that the materials they receive from Cyclic Materials are produced at high standards that meet upcoming regulations.

Battery passports are a valuable tool for businesses and consumers. Although some regulatory uncertainties remain on this topic, businesses across the value chain need to start implementing battery passport solutions today to avoid delaying the value opportunity. The Battery Pass recently published a list of recommended actions for policymakers that maximise the value of battery passports and minimise uncertainty.

How are digital product identifiers forging a more equitable energy transition? A digital identifier, via a QR code, that shares the battery’s unique composition, charging rates, and state of health gives consumers assurance that their purchase of a used zero emissions vehicle meets certain requirements. This level of transparency through California’s ACCII regulations instills confidence for underserved communities in adopting used EVs and hybrids, creating broader uptake of zero emission transportation and reducing tailpipe emissions both in underserved communities and the state as a whole. Our latest newsletter discusses ACCII in more detail: https://lnkd.in/egiJQ4Ay Or learn more on the full scope of benefits of digital identifiers here: https://lnkd.in/ex_3SyRX #DigitalIdentifiers #ACCII #CARB #ZeroEmissions Douglas Johnson-Poensgen Ellen Carey Yue Jin Tay Bill Zierolf Shannon Carabetta Karolin Langfeldt Luise Müller-Hofstede Rhys Mason Jessica Green Ben Steinberg Qing Rong, Aloysius Lim Shehan Mathew

The Advanced Clean Cars II (ACCII) regulations, adopted by California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) in August 2022, sets a second phase of ambitious targets for California in reducing vehicle emissions, with all new vehicle sales to be zero emissions by 2035, with an interim target of 35% by 2026. In light of the U.S.’s recent elections, it’s important to note that CARB and president-elect Donald Trump have a historically contentious relationship—and it’s expected that the Trump Administration will try once again to revoke CARB’s emissions autonomy and authority. However, if the past is prologue, the majority of industry will opt for continuing to prepare for California’s requirements, moving forward with their already planned EV model lines.
