The US still needs to deploy the necessary infrastructure to match the recycling pace of those regions, a recent report by IDTechEx shows.
specifically, the EU Battery Regulation is expected to enforce new specific collection rate targets for light means of transport and portable batteries. These are important targets, as the collection of consumer batteries has not been greatly incentivized or well achieved in the past.
In 2023, the EU compiled the fifth version of their critical raw materials list, which includes lithium, cobalt, manganese, natural graphite, and aluminum. “Similar to the EU Battery Regulation, these rules specify targets for specific material recovery efficiency targets in EV batteries, but also for portable and industrial batteries. Targets are also specified for battery collection rates across these sectors and minimum percentages of recycled materials to be used in new EVs and industrial batteries,” the report explains.Different from China, the EU and India, the US does not see any strict policies regarding Li-ion battery recycling.
