Research on the Impact of Information Sharing on Competitive Power Battery Closed-loop Supply Chain

Abstract

Abstract: To construct a mature power battery recycling system, in the context of competition between the battery manufacturer and the third-party recycler for the recycling of retired power batteries, a cooperation model called battery information sharing is proposed for the two and models are established to compare changes of recycling quantities, recycling prices, profits and total carbon emissions before and after information sharing. The research results mainly show that: (1) Battery information sharing can increase the amount of power battery recycling by the third-party recycler, and within a certain range, the profits of both the battery manufacturer and the third-party recycler will be improved; (2) When closed-loop supply chain carbon emission efficiency is greater than the utilization rate of echelon utilization, battery information sharing can reduce closed-loop supply chain carbon emissions. The findings provide development directions worthy of reference for power battery recycling companies to solve their own difficulties and seize the opportunities of the power battery retirement wave.

Key words: power battery recycling, closed-loop supply chain, battery information sharing, carbon emission
