Policy Paper | Circularity and life cycle of batteries and construction materials in the automotive industry as an opportunity for the Czech Republic

Based on research reports in the field of batteries and construction materials, this policy paper summarises strategic steps and recommendations to support the development of the Czech battery industry and to strengthen the use of low-emission materials and circular strategies in the automotive industry. The policy paper by EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy in cooperation with the Institute for Circular Economy (INCIEN) and accompanying studies are a major contribution to the debate on the transformation of the automotive industry, which today faces challenges related to decarbonisation and increasing competition, especially from China.

"The Czech Republic has significant potential to become a leader in the circular economy in the automotive industry. Today, we are lagging behind neighbouring countries in our ability to attract key investments in battery production. Yet the Czech Republic has reserves of critical raw materials and a highly skilled workforce. To truly harness this potential, we need strategic investments in production capacity, but also in efficient collection and recycling of lithium batteries, which would significantly boost not only our self-sufficiency but also our competitiveness."
- Filip Křenek, EUROPEUM Institute analyst
