A Disassembly Line for the Sustainable Transition
The exponential growth of the global population and the race toward decarbonization make the circular economy an essential choice for the planet’s future. It’s not just about reducing CO2 emissions, but also about providing a concrete response to the growing scarcity of raw materials: the circular model is emerging as the only viable alternative to the linear economy, which is now unsustainable for a society of eight billion people. In this context, the energy transition toward renewables and the need for widespread storage systems present new technological and logistical challenges. Rethinking production, logistics, and materials recycling becomes crucial to ensuring widespread well-being and industrial resilience, leveraging innovation, existing networks, and artificial intelligence.
