Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the transition to circular economy (CE). The CE transition for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with a focus on manufacturing SMEs underpins this research, which explores the potential barriers to implementing a CE business model. Barriers to CE transition are a growing research area, and this study makes two key contributions to the literature. First, we explore the interactions between different barriers to CE transition. Second, we do this through an in-depth case study of a small enterprise at the center of the electrification and mobility ecosystem that specializes in high-voltage batteries for special vehicles. Our results show that barriers related to the regulatory framework, market structure, actors and their attitudes, structure, technology, and tools hinder CE transition. Moreover, the interactions between these barriers keep the system unbalanced by reinforcing loops and making CE transition more challenging.

循环经济的障碍:一家小型电动汽车电池制造商的见解
中小企业(SMEs)在向循环经济(CE)转型的过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究以锂离子电池(LIB)的循环经济转型为基础,重点关注中小型制造企业,探讨实施循环经济商业模式的潜在障碍。CE 转型的障碍是一个不断增长的研究领域,本研究为相关文献做出了两项重要贡献。首先,我们探讨了向消费电子转型的不同障碍之间的相互作用。其次,我们通过对一家位于电气化和移动生态系统中心的小型企业的深入案例研究来实现这一目标,该企业专门生产用于特种车辆的高压电池。我们的研究结果表明,与监管框架、市场结构、参与者及其态度、结构、技术和工具有关的障碍阻碍了消费电子的转型。此外,这些障碍之间的相互作用通过强化循环使系统保持失衡,从而使消费电子转型更具挑战性。
