Sphera is the leading provider of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and risk management software, data and consulting services with a focus on Environment, Health, Safety &amp; Sustainability (EHS&amp;S), Operational Risk Management and Product Stewardship.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sphera&rsquo;s Sustainability Solutions for the Automotive Industry&nbsp; Sustainability becomes increasingly important in the automotive sector, not only for customers and vehicle manufacturers but also along the supply chain.&nbsp; Sphera&rsquo;s solutions and consulting services support OEMs and suppliers in their eco-efficiency approaches e.g. by quantifying and reducing life-cycle emissions, by comparing different powertrain technologies or material options, and by improving recycling. We also offer customized software solutions and data for vehicle LCA calculations to inform smart design from the first moment of new developments.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We help you succeed with:&nbsp;&nbsp;
LCA &amp; Eco-Design&nbsp;
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a highly powerful tool for quantifying a variety of environmental impacts along the production, use, and end-of-life of vehicles. The complexity of vehicles, however, requires adequate tools. GaBi DfX is designed for analyzing vehicles or complex components based on their bill of materials. &nbsp;Material data can help in this process to effectively develop documentation for the sustainability of vehicles and components.&nbsp;
Alternative Powertrains&nbsp;
The huge variety of current and future powertrain options ranges from biofuels, gaseous fuels, synthetic fuels in internal combustion engines to using electricity or hydrogen in full-electric or hybrid vehicles. &nbsp;Economic and environmental assessments of these alternatives provide a clear picture of their potential future role in international key markets and help to define a clear business strategy for the future.&nbsp;
Product &amp; End-of-Life Compliance, Material Management&nbsp;
Our applications help you manage material data and substance compliance information throughout the product lifecycle. We empower you to design innovative products with the material in mind and check your product structure for compliance with various environmental compliance regulations such as GADSL, RoHS, REACH, Conflict Minerals, Prop 65, POPs, Biocide, and others.&nbsp;
LCA Data &amp; Software&nbsp;
Sphera&rsquo;s global industrial process LCA database represents the world&rsquo;s network of industrial processes, including region and country-specific data for materials such as steel, aluminum, carbon composites, fuels, electricity and waste management. LCA Models for more complex products, e.g. lithium-ion batteries, are parameterized and can be adapted by the customer according to individual characteristics.&nbsp;
Infrastructure&nbsp;
For alternative powertrains, the necessary infrastructure is essential for the successful use of a vehicle technology. Sphera&rsquo;s economic and environmental assessments analyze the infrastructure technologies as well as their availability and related policies in international key markets. The synergies of coupling the energy supply and the mobility sector are another relevant focus related to infrastructure.&nbsp;
Sustainability Reporting&nbsp;
Determined sustainability results can easily be used for communication. On a corporate level or on a product level, which includes LCA reports for entire vehicles addressing potential customers but also reporting sustainability information on materials or components used in vehicles (e.g. EPD). &nbsp; <a href="https://sphera.com/contact-us/">Contact us</a> to learn more.&nbsp;

OPENING PANEL: BATTERY RECYCLING&nbsp;
09:10 Latest Ideas &amp; Cost Competitive Solutions For Handling The EV Battery End Of Life Portion &nbsp;
There are now many theoretical options for handling battery end of life with many small-scale trial projects across Europe and North America. &nbsp;The critical commercial question today is determining what is cost-competitive and scalable. Re-purposing EV batteries for stationary applications could create a closed-loop system for recycling. As a separate option, today, only half of the materials in an EV battery pack are typically recycled.
So what are the actionable strategies to eventually recycle up to 95% of battery components?

STRATEGIC LEVEL PANEL &ndash; THE LATEST TRENDS ON APPLYING CIRCULARITY PRINCIPLES END OF LIFE PARTS&nbsp;
14:30 Recycling Automotive Parts &amp; Components - Innovative OEM &amp; Supplier Strategies For Turning Circularity Into Profitability&nbsp;
European OEMs are now starting to apply the principles of circularity and put them into practice for reusing parts and components. Some, for example, are repurposing legacy factories to refurbish and raise the residual of vehicles. Several automakers are also establishing vehicle recovery networks &ndash; partnerships to set up closed-loop recycling operations to recover automotive parts once they reach the end of life. So once circularity goals and targets have been set, what can be learned from those early adopters moving beyond the theory and actioning their strategies? &nbsp;
