CATL and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation share ambition for a circular battery future
Announced during London Climate Action Week, the collaboration marks a new phase of ambition and action across the global battery system LONDON, June 26, 2025 /CNW/ -- At London Climate Action Week, CATL and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation shared an ambition for accelerating the transition to a circular battery economy —that new battery production must be decoupled from the use of virgin raw materials. Doing so will enable a future where access, resilience, and sustainability go hand in hand — and where growth is no longer tied to extraction. Since forming their Strategic Partnership earlier this year, CATL and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation have been working together to map out how circular economy principles can be applied across the battery value chain. The shared ambition offers a starting point — a North Star — for the collaboration and innovation that must follow. It is intended to guide not only CATL, but a broad community of global stakeholders seeking to redesign the system for long-term success. The ambition was introduced by Jiang Li, vice president and Board Secretary of CATL at a high-level panel hosted by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The panel explored how stakeholders across research, industry, and government can work together to bring this ambition to life — and to identify what is needed to achieve it at scale. To help bring this ambition into focus, CATL has introduced a directional goal: that within 20 years, 50% of new battery production could be decoupled from virgin raw materials. This is a long-term marker — one that will guide how we explore circular models, scale partnerships, and invest in innovation across the value chain. Jiang Li highlighted that the circular economy will unlock new economic opportunities as well as environmental and social values. By 2040, the global battery recycling market is expected to exceed RMB 1.2 trillion (about 165 billion U.S. dollars), and the battery value chain could generate more than 10 million jobs—over half of which would be in developing countries. Four principles to guide industry transformation At the heart of this ambition are four practical principles, adapted from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's circular economy framework. These principles are designed to guide transformation across the battery value chain — from mining and manufacturing to mobility and energy systems. They offer a starting point to create further alignment with key stakeholders to design collaborative action to accelerate the shift toward a more circular battery economy. Rethink Systems. A circular approach requires systemic change across the battery ecosystem. By embedding circularity into each stage of the value chain, it becomes possible to support low-carbon development, reduce waste, and enable the continuous flow of materials. This principle emphasises optimising the structure and interactions of the value chain to enable more efficient and resilient use of resources. Redesign Products. Circularity begins at the design stage. Batteries must be built for longevity, disassembly, and second-life applications — using modular architecture and durable components. Designing with reuse and recycling in mind ensures that products can retain value for longer and be recovered more efficiently at the end of life. Rethink Business Models. New business models are essential to decoupling resource use from economic growth. By shifting from traditional ownership to shared, service-based, or second-life models, batteries can deliver greater utility and become more accessible to users. This principle supports the creation of economically viable pathways for circularity to scale. Recycle Materials. A high-performing recycling system is essential to circularity. Materials must be recovered efficiently and returned to high-value use, increasing the proportion of closed-loop recycling. This reduces dependence on virgin resources and helps establish a more sustainable, secure, and low-impact supply of critical raw materials. Jiang Li also shared examples of CATL's implementation of the four pillars. At system level, CATL launched its Carbon Chain Management System to help decarbonize the battery value chain. In product design, CATL has extended battery lifespan significantly—its energy storage batteries now reach up to 18,000 cycles—reducing both materials demand and emissions. CATL also plans to deploy over 10,000 battery swap stations, improving battery efficiency and facilitating large-scale collection of retired batteries. In recycling, CATL operates the world's largest battery take-back network and in 2024 alone recycled around 130,000 tons of end-of-life batteries, recovering 17,000 tons of lithium salts. Piloting change through GECC To test and expand upon the shared ambition in real-world conditions, CATL is advancing the Global Energy Circularity Commitment (GECC) — Announced in March, GECC is an open, global platform where stakeholders from industry, cities, and academia come together to test circular economy solutions in practice. CATL looks to work with players across the value chain through this platform, exploring and sharing insights to help scale impact. This collective approach is key to building a resilient and sustainable battery system. Looking ahead This shared ambition is a starting point — a foundation for building new forms of collaboration, transparency, and systems innovation across the global battery landscape. CATL and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation will continue to engage with public- and private-sector partners to refine, expand, and operationalise the ideas set out here. "The circular battery system won't be built in a lab or a boardroom — it will be shaped through collaboration, testing, and shared effort," said Jiang Li. "This ambition is a signal to help drive that work forward. Achieving it will require global collaboration, cross-sector learning, and open engagement across the value chain — all of which the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has long championed."

In the news today: Foreign aid transparency, Quebec chopper crash victims found
Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed… Aid chief wants more visibility abroad and at home The MP overseeing foreign aid says Canada must take a more efficient, more visible approach to development and humanitarian assistance to make the case for maintaining aid spending as the United States pulls back. 'Those that are staying the course need to be more nimble and need to be more versatile,' said Randeep Sarai, secretary of state for international development, in his first major interview since taking on the role. Sarai said his top priorities in the job are to ensure Canadian aid dollars are being spent efficiently and to give Canadians and aid recipients a better idea of where the money goes. Ottawa spent $12 billion on foreign aid in the fiscal year that ended in spring 2024, the latest year fully reported by Global Affairs Canada. 3 bodies found after Airmedic helicopter crash The search for three people who were unaccounted for after a medical transport helicopter crashed on Quebec's North Shore came to an end late Wednesday night after police divers located their bodies in a lake. Montreal-area company Airmedic says Quebec's provincial police have found the bodies of its two missing crew members, along with a patient, in Lake Watshishou, located 1,000 kilometres northeast of Montreal. 'This confirmation has deeply moved our team,' Airmedic said in a statement at around 10 p.m. Wednesday. 'A time of remembrance begins for the Airmedic family. We will take the time to pay tribute to them and honour their commitment. They lost their lives while attempting a rescue—a gesture that reflects their passion, their vision, and the meaning they gave to their profession.' Manitoba plan for intersection panned by residents Bureaucrats and consultants got an earful from local residents Wednesday night as they presented their preferred safety upgrade to a highway intersection where a crash killed 17 people in 2023. Although the final decision will rest with politicians, the Transportation Department, in conjunction with two firms hired to help weigh different options, is suggesting a design known as an RCUT, or restricted crossing U-turn. The design allows traffic on the main highway to flow freely, while people on a side highway are prevented from crossing directly or turning left. Instead, they must turn right, merge with traffic, execute a U-turn and then merge again. 'It's just a recipe for disaster, honestly,' Debra Steen, a resident who helped collect more than 2,000 signatures on a petition against the RCUT. Former Edmonton area MP looks to re-enter politics Decades after making headlines for faking a radio interview, driving under the influence, and breaking federal lobbying rules, a former member of Parliament says he's looking to throw his hat back into the political ring. At a restaurant he runs near downtown Edmonton, Rahim Jaffer said Wednesday he plans to re-enter politics by running for mayor this October in the Alberta capital's upcoming election. Vowing to be tough on crime and to have public spaces 'belong to families,' the four-term Conservative MP said Edmonton has been 'misguided,' isn't living up to its potential and is in need of 'a hard reset.' Raptors select Murray-Boyles ninth overall Collin Murray-Boyles shook his head when his name was called at the NBA Draft, appearing to let out a curse word. But Murray-Boyles said he wasn't disappointed, just in disbelief when the Toronto Raptors selected him ninth overall on Wednesday and quickly cleared the air when he spoke with media shortly after. 'What I said was not a bad thing by any means,' laughed Murray-Boyles, noting that Toronto was the first team he had worked out for after declaring for the draft. 'I'm just very thankful for it. That was a surreal moment to hear my name called by this organization that has a good history and have really good players right now.' General manager Bobby Webster said he didn't interpret Murray-Boyles's initial reaction to being drafted by the Raptors as a sign the 20-year-old was disappointed to be headed to Toronto. — This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 26, 2025

What's up with the ‘hipster animals' on Sparks Street?
Article content Kevin McHale knows that the Block 2 redevelopment construction along Sparks Street isn't exactly a pretty sight. Article content 'Part of the reason these (hoarding) walls are put up is because construction is loud, and it's messy,' McHale said. 'These structures have to go in to make pedestrians safe.' Article content Article content As executive director of the Sparks Street Business Improvement Area (BIA), McHale also knows the construction is expected to last until the early 2030s, and that it's hardly kind to the pedestrian downtown experience. Article content Article content The solution? Twenty-seven murals that McHale dotingly calls 'The Hipster Animals.' Article content Article content 'We wanted something that would be amusing and entertaining to people,' McHale said. 'Just the funky treatment of Canadian animals, and just have some fun rather than having a boring gray wall that people have to walk by.' Article content Along the Sparks Street hoarding wall, just steps away from the Parliament Buildings, lie the murals depicting 15 different animals, including polar bears, foxes, otters, raccoons and Canadian geese. Some don sunglasses or headphones with smile-plastered faces. Some wave at passers-by, while some hold up a peace sign. All are embellished with vibrant hues of blues, reds, purples and pinks woven into their fur or feathers. Article content The animals are a product of a Sparks Street BIA and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) collaboration to transform the construction zone into something more 'enriching' for the downtown area. Article content Article content Ashley Jackson, a senior director with PSPC, says the animals are there 'for the long haul,' having first been installed in May and lasting until at least early 2030. Article content 'We're really working to lay a foundation for a space that's vibrant and inclusive and thriving,' Jackson said. 'It's about sparking interest in the space and building that lasting connection. The hoardings are going to be in place for a while and then as we go into the future, we really want to extend that long term.' Article content Article content 'They're quirky, proud and full of personality, just like Canadians,' she said. 'I was inspired to create these animals to give an opportunity to add some fun, colour and animation to the construction.' Article content What started as only a handful of animals — originally the Canada goose, beaver, moose and Canadian toad — quickly turned into a months-long process to create a band of furry and feathered friends. Each pose and expression came from Lawson standing in front of a mirror and moving in silly ways she thought would make pedestrians pause on their way by.
