Synopsis
Lithium-ion batteries are essential for the automotive industry, but their disposal remains a challenge. In light of the climate crisis, the linear economic model is increasingly being replaced by the circular economy. Design for disassembly facilitates recycling, repair, and reuse. This study analyzes the environmental and circularity benefits of dismantlable battery housings for electric two-wheelers with a high risk of damage. Three designs are compared. The results show that dismantlability promotes long-term sustainability and resource efficiency.
