Tarform Electric Motorcycles – Sustainable Materials and Circular Systems
The future of mobility must be renewably powered, and renewably built. That is why Tarform has built their electric motorcycle from sustainable materials that are reclaimable within the circular economy. Grant Goldner, the consulting sustainability lead at Tarform, will provide a lens into the lessons and challenges encountered along the way. This session will cover the strategic framework used to select materials, how the team leveraged the supply chain to ensure materials had their desired end of life, and how they identified novel technology to facilitate recycling for materials outside of commonly accepted municipalities.
