Recycling lithium-ion batteries delivers significant environmental
Recycling lithium-ion batteries to recover their critical metals has significantly lower environmental impacts than mining virgin metals, according to a new Stanford University
Lithium batteries are batteries that use lithium as an anode. This type of battery is also referred to as a lithium-ion battery and is most commonly used for electric vehicles and electronics.
Secondly, environmental impacts arise throughout the lifecycle of battery storage systems, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Key issues include resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from mining activities.
There are many uses for lithium-ion batteries since they are light, rechargeable and are compact. They are mostly used in electric vehicles and hand-held electronics, but are also increasingly used in military and aerospace applications.
By implementing robust regulations, investing in research and development, promoting collaboration, embracing circular economy principles, and raising public awareness, we can promote safety and sustainability in battery storage systems and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
