However, the growing concerns associated with the environmental impacts of battery production have increased the emphasis on effective recycling technologies. The majority of battery materials, particularly metals such as nickel, lithium, manganese, and cobalt can be successfully recovered and recycled. Hence, automobile manufacturers are heavily investing in recycling facilities to reduce the cost of battery production to make EVs more affordable and accessible for consumers.
High cost of recycling li-ion batteries may hamper industry growth
Hefty recycling costs associated with li-ion batteries can act as a major roadblock for the battery materials recycling market. Since the recycling process is highly complex and depends on advanced technologies and skilled labor, the process accounts for massive expenditure. Moreover, the recycling of li-ion batteries can be challenging owing to the risk of exposure to hazardous materials and the complex disassembling procedure.
