Circular Economy Initiatives
Circular Economy Initiatives
MOBI unites public and private stakeholder efforts to collaboratively bolster global circular economy efforts through the creation of standards and Web3 infrastructure for cross-industry interoperability.
MOBI unites public and private stakeholder efforts from around the globe to collaboratively build standards and solution frameworks for improved visibility and circularity in cross-industry value chains worldwide.
Building a Circular Economy
The circular economy is an essential framework for promoting sustainability, consumer safety, and economic efficiency. Unlike the traditional linear economy, which follows a ‘take-make-dispose’ model, the circular economy emphasizes the continuous use of resources through reuse and recycling. This approach is essential for achieving global ESG targets.
MOBI facilitates collaboration among diverse stakeholders to develop standards and technologies that support the circular economy. By fostering interoperability and data sharing across industries, MOBI aims to help create a resilient, sustainable digital ecosystem where resources are optimized, and waste is minimized.

EU Battery Regulation
The EU Battery Regulation establishes comprehensive rules for the entire lifecycle of batteries, from design and production to recycling. A key element is the introduction of a digital battery passport, which provides detailed information on the battery’s materials, performance, and environmental footprint, enhancing transparency and enabling better lifecycle management. MOBI has analyzed the EU Battery Regulation to create the first Battery Birth Certificate standard for static battery data, with another standard for dynamic battery data in progress.
CARB Requirements
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements set stringent emissions and environmental standards for vehicles and industrial equipment to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. These regulations include mandates for zero-emission vehicles and detailed reporting mechanisms, ensuring accountability and driving the transition toward cleaner, more sustainable technologies. MOBI has analyzed the CARB Requirements to create the first Battery Birth Certificate standard for static battery data, with another standard for dynamic battery data in progress.
U.S. Treasury Section 30D Guidance
The U.S. Treasury Section 30D guidance outlines the criteria for electric vehicle (EV) tax credits, focusing on domestic manufacturing and sourcing of critical minerals to qualify for incentives. This guidance aims to promote EV adoption while strengthening the US supply chain and supporting the transition to a greener economy. Without supply chain transparency, it’s extremely difficult to verify whether an EV was manufactured domestically. MOBI members are working on a Minimum Viable Product for the Global Battery Passport to address these challenges and more.

Global Battery Passport
Members of MOBI’s Circular Economy and the Global Battery Passport (CE-GBP) Working Group are collaborating on a three-year initiative to co-develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a cross-industry interoperable, decentralized Global Battery Passport (GBP) designed with current and future regulatory compliance in mind.
