Efficient Lithium Battery Recycling

The global demand for Lithium Batteries (LiBs) is rapidly increasing due to the electric vehicle, energy storage and portable electronics markets. The waste created by end of life and scrap batteries poses a growing environmental challenge. Therefore, battery recycling is becoming mandatory in many states and nations. LiBs are hazardous to humans and the environment when not disposed off appropriately. In Europe, the EU Battery Directive dictates that producers must recycle or transfer recycling responsibility to third party, while in California, recycling is mandatory.
