Nordic Booster Tests Economics of Circular Energy Storage Using Repurposed EV Truck Batteries
Rising peak loads from fast charging and electrification are forcing grid operators and site owners across Northern Europe to look for alternatives to costly grid reinforcements, and Nordic Booster is betting that second-life truck batteries can close part of that gap.
Europe’s plastics recycling industry is contracting at a pace not previously recorded, and Brussels is preparing to intervene.
The United Arab Emirates has moved beyond pilot programs in the circular economy, embedding it into a broader economic restructuring agenda that now includes 22 approved and implemented policies spanning waste, materials, infrastructure, transport, and industrial design.
Vietnam Pushes Circular Economy and Low-Carbon Agriculture as Key Pillars of Green Growth
Vietnam is increasingly positioning the circular economy at the center of its sustainable development strategy, as highlighted during the thematic session “Promoting green transition and developing the circular economy to realize high growth and sustainable development goals” at the Vietnam Economic Forum 2025.
Global demand for silver continues to climb, driven by its critical role in electronics, solar panels, and other clean technologies, yet only around 20 percent of supply is currently recycled.
Calgary-based Eavor Technologies has connected its Geretsried facility to the German grid, representing the first commercial deployment of closed-loop multilateral…
Nearly 30 federal energy-efficiency standards issued in recent years — carrying an estimated compliance cost exceeding 60 billion dollars —…
Recycled aggregates now account for 31% of Britain’s construction material demand, yet South Wales has pushed beyond national averages to…
As Southeast Asia’s packaging waste volumes continue to rise—driven by rapid urbanization, growing consumption, and limited recycling infrastructure, policymakers and industry leaders are intensifying efforts to develop systems that can shift the region toward a functional circular economy.
Global EV adoption is accelerating faster than most recycling systems can keep up. Waste from end-of-life batteries, just 500,000 tons in 2019, is projected by researchers to reach eight million tons by 2040, underscoring a widening gap between electrification targets and the infrastructure required to support them.
