Nice sentence:

1. (循環(huán)經(jīng)濟(jì)對于企業(yè)的好處，企業(yè)形象和凈利潤）Industry does talk about sustainability and recycling, but much of that is greenwashing intended to improve brand images. Yet in the circular economy the profit caan benefit from the greenery, as well.
2. (電池成本高和供應(yīng)商不可控風(fēng)險(xiǎn)）Reusing materials makes sense. Batteries are the costliest part of an EV, so making them is lucrative. They contain materials-like lithium, cobalt and nickel that are pricey and can be hard to obtain. In addition, supply chains are long and complicated. Buyers risk being tarnished by their suppliers' poor environmenetal and labour standards.
3. (如何循環(huán)電池）The idea is that once batteries reach the ends of their lives, they should go back to a factory, where their ingredients can be recovered and put into new batteries.
4. (快時(shí)尚行業(yè)浪費(fèi)嚴(yán)重，應(yīng)該使用簡單便于再利用的布料減少浪費(fèi)）Fast fashion is a notoriously wasteful business in which little worn clothes are burnt or dumped. A big part of the reason for low recycling rates is the use of mixed textiles. Clothing companies could reengineer their processes to employ fibres that are easier to handle.
