TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a global production network framework of rare earth element (REE) flows from mine to REE phosphors in energy-efficient lamps to illustrate the potential of closed-loop recycling for secondary supply under different scenarios of primary supply and forecasted demand for LEDs, CFLs and LFLs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive empirical assessment of American stimulus policies aimed at renewable energy (RE) technologies is provided, using an indicator-based methodology to assess progress with respect to energy, environmental and socioeconomic issues resulting from RE stimulus programs linked to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and review and analyze the emerging but scattered literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the EPR systems for gas discharge lamps in the Nordic countries and found that the performance of lamp EPR is generally still high, despite some differences in approach and structure of the systems, but there remain opportunities for further improvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review explores the current policy landscape for repair services by first outlining legal and market barriers to stakeholder participation in repair activities, and which stakeholders are affected, including Intellectual Property, Consumer, Contract, Tax and Chemical laws, along with issues of design, consumer perceptions and markets.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on CE strategies for lithium-ion batteries and benchmarks their current adoption among European vehicle manufacturers is presented. And the authors highlight the need to design for disassembly and to build expertise to diagnose the state of health of batteries to enable life extending CBMs.
