Recycling technologies for end-of-life lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are not keeping pace with the rapid rise of electric vehicles, storing up a potentially huge waste management problem for the future, according to a new study. To recycle these efficiently, they must be disassembled and the resulting waste streams separated.

"We will not reach carbon neutrality without increasing our investment and development of new technologies and recycling opportunities," he said. "As As the demand for electric vehicles increases, we will need this facility - and more like it in the UK - to ensure we don't hit a resource crisis in the next decade.".

A key point they made in the email was that lead-acid batteries are 99% recyclable, while lithium-ion batteries are recycled at a rate below 5%. To summarize my view, I agree that the recycling issue must be addressed. The cost curve could flatten at a higher price for lithium-ion batteries. They agreed.

As demand rises for battery raw materials, EV industry players are working to reduce the environmental costs of extraction. Conversely, an old EV battery is essentially a small mineral reserve filled with extremely concentrated and high-quality materials like lithium and nickel that can be reused again and again.”
