From Principles to Practice: Scaling Circularity Across Electrification Systems

Circularity doesn’t fail because of lack of ideas—it fails at implementation. What role do standards play in closing that gap? To explore how standards enable circularity across the electrification value chain, while:

1) Identifying implementation gaps across sectors

2) Highlighting near-term standards releases and work-in-progress

3) Positioning ULSE as a convener focused on practical deployment, not just frameworks

By the end of session:

1) Define priority implementation gaps in circular electrification systems

2) Identify where standards can accelerate deployment now

3) Establish next-step collaboration pathways across stakeholders

Call to Action:

Engage in standards-based collaboration to move circularity from concept to implementation across electrification systems.
