Therefore, battery recycling is emerging as a critical component of sustainable battery management, which requires both regulation development and technological advancement. Notably, the European Union (EU) has set regulations requiring at least 6% recycled lithium and nickel and 16% recycled cobalt in new batteries from 2031.
Traditional recycling methods may not be directly applicable, necessitating new technologies capable of efficiently recovering valuable materials. These efforts are crucial for minimizing waste, reducing the demand for virgin materials, and lessening the environmental impact of battery production .
Integrating principles such as second life, reconditioning, and comprehensive recycling strategies into battery design can significantly reduce the environmental impact of EVs over their entire lifecycle.
These valuable energy and materials, akin to urban mines. How ever, the y also present a significant environmental burden. mental concern [ 38 ]. Many EV batteries globally end up dis carded despite the potential for reuse or recycling [ 39, 40]. still pose disposal risks [ 41 ]. Landfilling these batteries
The introduction of direct recycling, electrohydraulic fragmentation, enhanced leaching techniques, and closed-loop recycling systems not only meets the immediate needs of the recycling industry but also establishes a new benchmark for environmental stewardship across the entire life cycle of battery technologies.
Despite these challenges, direct recycling is particularly promising for reducing the overall environmental impact of battery disposal. The complexities associated with the diverse chemistries, designs, and sizes of LIBs further complicate the recycling process, often necessitating manual sorting and disassembly.
