Building Out the
EV Battery-Recycling
Ecosystem
The economics and sustainability of EVs depend on establishing a robust
recycling infrastructure for EV battery materials.
D
evelopment of a robust
electric vehicle (EV) battery-recycling
industry
has moved from a
net-positive sideline to a
necessity as automakers,
and their suppliers, transition away from
internal combustion. Experts say that
global mining operations are simply not
on track to produce the virgin raw materials
needed to meet the dramatic ramping
up of the world's battery production.
Additionally, the sourcing of these materials
raises numerous red flags in terms
of conditions for workers, site pollution,
geopolitical complications, and concentration
of ownership.
The good news is that the Biden
Administration's recently
enacted
Inflation Reduction Act provides incentives
for automakers to use recycled
minerals in their batteries. Startup companies,
including one founded by former
longtime CTO at Tesla, are taking on the
recycling challenge and partnering with
carmakers. Automakers are also concentrating
on proven technologies such as
hydrometallurgy (often leaching, which
involves immersing the cells in acid to
dissolve the acids into a solution) and
pyrometallurgy (burning and smelting) to
efficiently recover a very high percentage
of key metals from used lithium-ion (LiRedwood
Materials will
soon produce copper
foil
for battery anodes,
made from recyclate, at
a new facility near Reno,
NV. Panasonic will be the
first customer. (Image:
