It is predicted that 2 million metric tons of waste batteries will be generated worldwide by 2030. To face this problem and to avoid the risk of strategic metals’ low availability, technological innovations are mandatory. This work presents the most recent strategies for waste batteries management, in accordance with the targets of the European Commission’s proposed Regulation on Batteries and Waste Batteries.

Finally, to advance the state of play about circular economy in higher education, she published a book about “Raw materials substitution sustainability” in 2017. 

She was the TOP WORLD RESEARCHER (first position of reported 500 researchers by SciVal) for the research topic of Waste Incineration; Municipal Solid Waste; Carbonation; for the 2017-2020 period.

She was ranked among World’s Top 2% Scientists in the 2021 and 2022 list of outstanding researchers prepared by Elsevier BV, Stanford University, USA.

Elza coordinated several projects about the circular economy and is assisting governmental entities with a wide range of sustainability strategies and policy development. In particular, she’s the scientific reference for the circular economy of the Lombardy Energy Cleantech Cluster.

She is currently responsible for sustainability development actions for INSTM consortium.
