Customer ServiceSince 2023, businesses that sell portable batteries have been subject to extended producer responsibility (EPR). The regulation states that these companies must implement measures to help their customers recycle the batteries they buy.
Customer ServiceThe manufacturing process begins with building the chassis using a combination of aluminium and steel; emissions from smelting these remain the same in both ICE and EV. However, the environmental impact of battery production begins to change when we consider the manufacturing process of the battery in the latter type.
As a result, researchers note growing worries about the ecological and environmental effects of spent batteries. Studies revealed a compound annual growth rate of up to 8% in 2018. The number is expected to reach between 18 and 30% by 2030 3. The need to increase production comes with the growing demand for new products and electronics.
From the mining of materials like lithium to the conversion process, improper processing and disposal of batteries lead to contamination of the air, soil, and water. Also, the toxic nature of batteries poses a direct threat to aquatic organisms and human health as well.
The environmental impact of battery emerging contaminants has not yet been thoroughly explored by research. Parallel to the challenging regulatory landscape of battery recycling, the lack of adequate nanomaterial risk assessment has impaired the regulation of their inclusion at a product level.
Nevertheless, the leakage of emerging materials used in battery manufacture is still not thoroughly studied, and the elucidation of pollutive effects in environmental elements such as soil, groundwater, and atmosphere are an ongoing topic of interest for research.
The full impact of novel battery compounds on the environment is still uncertain and could cause further hindrances in recycling and containment efforts. Currently, only a handful of countries are able to recycle mass-produced lithium batteries, accounting for only 5% of the total waste of the total more than 345,000 tons in 2018.
