The goal of this article is to offer perspectives on how the digitalization of the LIB recycling process can be defined from the very early stages of the electrode and cell production by repurposing state-of-the-art battery digitalization tools, currently applied to different steps in the battery manufacturing chain. Since large scale recycling processes are still being developed and scaled up, and computational modeling of these processes is basically on its infancy, this article offers perspectives for redirecting the computational modeling efforts towards the creation of an autonomous and circular battery value chain. In order to do so, the article is divided into different subsections (Figure ).
