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. To recycle these efficiently, they must be disassembled and the resulting waste streams separated.
