Recycling of electric cars batteries

European legislation* has taken matters into hand with a new proposal for a regulation which will force the inclusion of recycled raw materials in the production of new batteries:

Battery recycling

Recycling of batteries is an important market sector both for the recovery of resources and for environmental health.

The inappropriate elimination of batteries exhausted in waste can cause corroded battery chemicals that escape in our soils and contaminate groundwater and surface surface.

Micronics is proud to contribute to advanced filtration solutions for the circular economy and a clearer, healthier and more sustainable world for generations to come.

Micronics provides personalized engineering filtration solutions for batteries recycling, in particular:

• recycling of lead-acid batteries
• Recycling of lithium-ion batteries
• Recycling of Nickel-Hydride Metallic batteries (NIMH)
• Nickel-Cadmium batteries recycling

Li-ion batteries are used in energy storage systems (ESS), hybrid and electric vehicles (VE), electric bikes, various consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets, Electric tools, etc.

Almost 100% of lead-acid batteries are reversed today and the lithium-ion battery recycling should experience two-digit growth in the years to come. The electrification of the global transport sector is now!

If you are looking to recycle lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries and other battery chemicals, Micronics offers you a range of personalized confidence filtration solutions:

• Filter-press fabric for battery recycling applications
• Personalized filter for battery recycling applications, including recovery of critical minerals
• Construction materials personalized options for your mud and temperature requirements
• Assistance to on -site pilot tests for battery recycling applications – Explore our test press options, including our micropress – the new 150 mm bench -press scale of micronics
• Filter plates for waterproof battery recycling applications
• Spare press-filter for battery recycling applications
• Installation, start -up and commissioning services to put yourself on the means of resource recovery faster

Recycling of electric cars batteries

We collect, disseminate and recycons the batteries of electric vehicles. The challenge ? To make the most of the strategic resources that make them up, while preserving the environment and the people who handle them from the polluting materials they contain.

7m tonnes of EVB will be eligible for recycling by 2035 or more than 15 billion euros of metal value

Create a circular loop around all the materials and in particular the strategic metals contained in the electric batteries

The electric vehicle market has been expanding for several years. Replacing thermal vehicles at high speed, nearly 77 million hybrid and electric cars could be sold by 2025, according to the IAE Global EV Outlook 2022.

Figures that keep increasing and will continue to grow for a long time. The recycling of batteries is therefore a necessity to limit the pressure on certain metals and preserve our natural resources.

Why recycling batteries is a real ecological issue

The battery of an electric car weighs on average 300 kg but can reach double for some models.

She is made of plastic, of solvent, of electronic compounds and in small quantity of metals of high values ​​such as the lithium, cobalt, copper, manganese or nickel ..

These highly strategic metals are essential in our energy transition. Nevertheless, their extraction and their production are concentrated in some geographic areas. This situation leads to tensions on resources and on distribution circuits in growing demand. The recovery of metals contained in end -of -life batteries is an ecological solution To limit the pressure on virgin raw materials, to limit the carbon and environmental footprint linked to mining extraction while preserving the environment of pollution emanating from the end of life batteries.

European legislation* has taken matters into hand with a new proposal for a regulation which will force the inclusion of recycled raw materials in the production of new batteries:

• 2025: Mandatory declaration of recycled content
• 2031: 16 % for cobalt, 6 % for lithium and nickel
• 2036: 26 % for cobalt, 12 % for lithium and 15 % for nickel

European institutions also aim to control the effectiveness of the recycling process, and therefore the performance of the processes used, with new compulsory objectives:

• 2027: 90 % for cobalt, copper and nickel, 50 % for lithium
• 2031: 95 % for cobalt, copper and nickel, 80 % for lithium
