The potential for EV battery recycling in Europe

The number of electric vehicles on the road in Europe continues to grow steadily, projected to exceed 30 million by 2030. This is directly driving an increase in the use of power batteries. This trend portends the first large-scale retirement of EV batteries in the coming years, creating a significant economic opportunity: recycling scrap batteries.

EV battery contains a variety of valuable metals and materials. Proper recycling not only enables resource recycling but also reduces the environmental impact of used batteries. European governments have successively introduced relevant policies and regulations, providing clear development direction for the battery recycling industry. Against this backdrop: strict EU battery regulations (requiring high recycling rates for lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper) and Europe's reliance on imported critical minerals, demand for EV battery recycling is expected to grow steadily.

Why EV Battery Recycling is Essential & Profitable in Europe?

1. Regulation Drives Demand:

EU battery regulations set specific recycling rate targets for member states. For example, the new EU laws demand high recycling rates (80% lithium recycling by 2031) and recycled content. At the same time, some European countries offer tax incentives or subsidies to battery recycling companies, lowering the barrier to entry.

2. Resource Security: Recycling provides a vital European source of lithium, cobalt, and nickel, reducing import dependence.

3. Economic Sense: Recovering high-value metals (>98% purity) is increasingly more cost-effective than virgin mining if the process is efficient.

4. Massive Market Gap: Projected annual EV battery waste exceeds 500,000 tonnes by 2030, far outstripping current recycling capacity.
