Western Australia is considered to be among the richest states in minerals and the need to have sustainable supply chain for all the metals used in manufacturing batteries is essential. These metals include Cobalt, Lithium, Manganese and Copper.
Blockchain is a foundational disruptive technology that has the power to impact our society and economy over the coming two decades according to Harvard. Its attributes of provenance, immutability, traceability, transparency and verifiability sets it to be a good fit for sustainable supply chain and gives it the power to market itself to companies interested in providing evidence about ethical sourcing and free-of-slavery operations.
The proposed project is to build an application for battery recycling that contributes to the sustainable resource management and clean energy by using blockchain technology.
The success factor for this application will be providing a working application for tracing the battery recycling throughout the value chain with full visibility to all participants.
