UK needs to act to prevent electric vehicle battery waste mountain – new study

Envirotec Magazine

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. Individual cells are formed into modules, which are then assembled into battery packs.
