Die Nachhaltigkeit industrieller Produktion kann durch datenbasierte, KI-gestützte Systeme wesentlich verbessert werden. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Plattform vorgestellt, die auf den drei Zero³-Dimensionen „Zero Human Potential Loss“, „Zero Resource Loss“ und „Zero Data Loss“ basiert. Mithilfe eines Recommender-Systems, das nach dem Prinzip der Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) arbeitet, werden Produktionsengpässe identifiziert, passende Basistechnologien vorgeschlagen und Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Die Plattform unterstützt Unternehmen bei der systematischen Bewertung und Verbesserung ihrer Produktionsprozesse mit Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit.

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling has become a key area where sustainability goals and circular economy ambitions meet practical challenges. While research often focuses on regulatory or technological solutions, real progress depends on stakeholder action and alignment. This paper combines a literature review and a stakeholder survey (n = 26) to map risks, opportunities, barriers, and interventions, formulating a roadmap for sustainable LIB recycling from the stakeholder perspective. The literature identified 27 opportunities, 21 risks, 32 barriers, and 23 enablers across strategic, operational, institutional, cultural, and technical domains. The study confirms that an implementation gap persists between ambition and practice. Stakeholders know the opportunities, but structural barriers, limited resources, and insufficient attention to cultural enablers dampen progress. The barrier–intervention mapping and the derived roadmap show that interventions must be sequenced strategically: securing resources first, then building data infrastructures and strengthening know-how to finally reduce complexity. The findings show that sustainability progress depends less on technical capability than on sound resource management, reliable data, and institutional support offering a transferable framework to close implementation gaps, as presented in this study, and supports future research on how stakeholder alignment can accelerate sustainable transitions across industries.
