Circular Insights.

Research-led analysis on battery chemistry, sustainable operations, circular business models and the engineering behind a zero-waste energy future. Written for the people who have to make the decisions, not for search engines.

- What we write about

Four topics, covered in depth rather than in volume.

We publish infrequently and at length. Each piece exists because the question it answers is one our engineers and partnerships team get asked repeatedly and cannot answer in a sentence.

Battery chemistry

Sulphation, internal resistance, desulphation mechanisms and what actually causes lead-acid batteries to fail early.

Restoration

Energy economics

Total cost of ownership, capital versus operating models, and how battery spend behaves across a large estate.

Battery-as-a-Service

Policy & compliance

Battery Waste Management Rules 2022, Extended Producer Responsibility, and what regulation means for procurement.

Compliance

Circular operations

Second-life deployment, reverse logistics, recycling routes and the carbon arithmetic behind extending battery life.

Have a question we have not written about?

Our engineers answer technical questions directly. If it turns out to be a question several people are asking, it usually becomes the next article.
