Ionic Materials
Ionic Materials, a Massachusetts-based startup founded in 2012, emerged as a promising innovator in the field of solid-state battery technology. The company focused on developing solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries. Despite its technological breakthroughs and significant industry partnerships, Ionic Materials ceased operations in mid-2024 due to financial difficulties and the competitive nature of the advanced battery sector.

EU Weakens Key Sustainable Plastics Goal for Automakers
The EU has revised its End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive, lowering recycled plastic targets from 25% to 20% due to supply chain limitations, while maintaining stricter rules on recyclability, producer responsibility, and vehicle exports. IDTechEx forecasts that automakers will still face major hurdles, including limited material availability, high costs, and fragmented supply chains, in meeting these goals by 2035.

Electric Light Commercial Vehicles: Emission-Free Zones Transportation
By 2035, the EU plans to impose a ban on all cars and vans that produce emissions, with the UK potentially bringing this date forward to 2030. There are nearly 30 low or emission-free zones across 18 European countries, meaning there is lots of incentive for electrification. In some cities, such as London, there is a charge for driving through emission-free zones, meaning eLCVs may become increasingly necessary.
