Abstract
The transition towards a circular economy (CE) has become crucial across industries, including the electric vehicle (EV) sector. With the rising demand for EVs and sustainable transportation, automotive manufacturers are challenged to establish CE practices for EVs, specifically concerning permanent magnet (PM) motors. This study identified and examined circular scenarios within the PM motor industry to address this challenge and provided planning strategies for PM motor recycling. The study adopted a two-stage research design, including exploration and evaluation phases and a SWOT analysis. The exploration phase contained two workshops to conceptualize the circular scenarios and explore different factors for SWOT analysis. In the evaluation phase, the weight and importance of each SWOT factor were defined using an expert-based ranking method. Among the key contributions, the study identified circular scenarios involving repurposing, reusing, and recycling within the EV sector. Secondly, the study discovered a wide range of internal and external factors influencing the successful recycling of PM motors. Thirdly, the study evaluated the recycling of PM motors by analyzing experts’ perceptions towards this scenario. Based on the findings, the study develops strategic strategies to help automotive companies transition to CE.
