As more electric vehicles have been driven on the road, more attention from governments and corporates has been drawn to waste battery from those electric vehicles. Governments have come up with regulations on waste battery which, if not treated properly, may bring about the environmental issues and explosion risks due to heavy metals and toxic gas. Companies have been quick to find a new opportunity for raw material supply from waste battery recycling and a new business in relation to the reuse of waste battery.
These days, there have been increasing needs in treatment of waste battery which is obtained as recalled battery or waste battery from electric vehicles in countries where electric vehicles were introduced earlier than others. As the price of raw material has continuously risen, OEM/Cell/material companies tried to find partners in the recycling sector to secure the supply of key metals, which rapidly changed the landscape of electric vehicle and battery industry.
This report consists of 8 chapters: in Chapter 1 and 2, the report gives a brief introduction to electric vehicle battery and the necessity of battery recycling; Chapter 3 provides recycling / reuse market outlook; and from Chapter 4 to 8, the report broadly talks about related regulations / technical overview / hydrometallurgy/ economic evaluation on recycling / major players in the field.
Chapter 1 and 2 describe the components of battery and the value and influence of battery recycling. Chapter 3 provides a forecast of scrapped vehicle/ waste battery / scrap / reuse / recycling market based on the mid/long-term EV market sales forecast made by SNE Research. Chapter 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 describe controversial issues regarding waste battery based on SNE's interview with experts and industry market research.
