| Abstract | For many countries, the transportation sector plays a critical role in the economy. Unfortunately, transportation contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the United States, there exists a very developed end of life (EoL) infrastructure for conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. As the market for Electric Vehicles (EVs) grows, this EoL infrastructure will need to keep pace with the changing vehicle technologies. One reason why this is of particular concern is the use of several high value and critical materials that have been procured using several resource-intensive manufacturing processes. The lack of adequate EoL infrastructure will result in the wastage of several materials resulting in increasing environmental burdens and the possibility of supply chain risks. This paper proposes the use of industrial symbiosis (IS) and principles of waste hierarchy to minimize material wastage and environmental burdens. A short case study evaluating the potential environmental benefits of rerouting degraded EV Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries as feedstock in an alternative industry is presented and the resulting environmental benefits are estimated.
