This event will understand the successful cases of lead-acid battery recycling and the recycling status of lithium batteries, and whether the recycling concept of lead-acid batteries can be used to optimize the recycling of lithium batteries
The lithium battery market is growing fast due to the adoption of electric vehicle technology. Significant interest in now shifting towards the recycling of these batteries.
What will it take for lithium-ion battery recyclers to achieve highly efficient, low-carbon recycling?Lessons can be learned from the classic lead-acid battery and its recycling infrastructure：The lead-acid battery is the most successfully recycled commodity item – despite being invented in the 1850s, long before anyone talked about global warming, recycling and the circular economy.
In this presentation we will look at the success story of lead-acid battery recycling; the reasons this industry is polluting despite its impressive recycling rates; and we ask “what will it take for lithium battery recycling to emulate this success?”
Dr Fox and his partners have produced a White Paper (Criticality and recycling of lithium-ion batteries – Putting the debate on a broader footing), free download from ：
