Implementing circular economy practices could also enhance market competitiveness by showcasing a business ' s dedication to eco-friendly initiatives , which could in turn build consumer trust and bolster its reputation . This approach could yield various environmental benefits , such as a reduction in waste , energy consumption , and greenhouse gas emissions , while also preserving raw materials .
As a result of these advantages , there may be increased federal , state , and local investment in circular economy initiatives in the United States , along with private investment in innovative products , services , and processes aimed at recovering and reusing materials .
An advocate for the circular economy is Clarion ’ s Chief Sustainability Officer , Adam Muellerweiss , who emphasises that the industry must utilise recycling to get the maximum life out of every energy storage device .
“ There ' s only so many metals and materials on the periodic table that can be used for energy storage . We need them all and must be able to do them in a circular way . We need to be able to collect , manage , and reuse those resources .

“ This is why we work with the Global Battery Alliance , formed with the World Economic Forum , to help foster this conversation globally , to really identify opportunities to use information , data , resources , and capabilities that we all have today in understanding the providence of materials , where they ' re going into what vehicle , ensuring chain of custody is managed , and to understand that , as that vehicle or that battery or that pack changes hands , second-life opportunities may be explored ,” Muellerweiss states .
