UK Bicycle Association To Roll Out Nationwide Battery Recycling Scheme via insideevs.com
The Bicycle Association in the United Kingdom is connecting riders and merchants with a new service that collects and recycles electric bike batteries. They've enlisted the help of European Recycling Platform UK to handle the logistics and get things started. It's all in preparation for the eventuality that e-bikes will become increasingly popular in the near future, especially considering the growing number of people who have switched to e-bikes for their everyday mobility needs.
Stephen Holt, the BA's retail trade head, stated in an article published in the British EV publicationthat: “With millions of electric bike sales ahead of us, this is an exciting initiative that will make it easy for retailers to safely store faulty and expired batteries in one fireproof rated drum – with one phone call when full to get it swapped out. With the support of electric bike producers, we hope to provide a national network of hundreds of collection points convenient for customers.
Meanwhile, ERP is already promoting a a recycling-focused industry in other regions of Europe with similar e-bike battery recycling operations and other innovative initiatives. That is, they focus on reusing or recycling items that might otherwise be discarded. By doing so, they are preventing old batteries from becoming trash and giving them a second life in various ways, such as repairing them or utilizing them for less intensive uses.
