Furthermore, data from digital tools could help to make well-informed decisions on environmental effect mitigation by considering the technical, economic, and design perspectives across the battery value chain. Additionally, digitalization can offer a holistic ecosystem for sustainable repurposing, reusing, and recycling of battery cells. As an example, a centralized information database which includes incentivization mechanisms for collection of both data, and battery products (Figure ), can facilitate stakeholder collaboration and overall help the transition of the battery chain from linear to circular. All the points previously mentioned get their importance when we consider that observations indicate that from EV scrap, LIBs alone could contribute to a total annual waste generation of 4 million tons by the year 2040 . Most importantly, with ongoing research for new energy storage technologies including next generation LIBs, all solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and post LIBs, challenges related to raw material depletion, high scrap rates, and associated environmental impacts will escalate. Therefore, it will remain important to leverage both the advancement and advantages of digitalization in this field.
