China is leading the U.S. and Europe on EV battery recycling, according to a new Bloomberg report, and it may add to China's EV advantages in the future.
The battery-recycling business in China is booming, according to the report, which cites data from consultancy Circular Energy Storage showing that "the nation dominates when it comes to preprocessing and materials recovery." And Circular Energy Storage expects China to have nearly four times as many batteries to recycle by 2030 than it did in 2021.

When Hans Eric Melin thinks of battery waste, he imagines American driveways filled with electric vehicles. They look much like the gas-powered cars of yesterday, large and handsome and well-equipped: family-haulers, boat-towers, off-road ready. They also do things that those cars didn’t do, like go from zero to 60 in three seconds and travel 400 miles without emitting any carbon. The trade-off is that they carry a burden: a massive battery pack that can push the vehicles’ weight to over 10,000 pounds. Read the story in Wired
The cathode is a marvel of molecular choreography. How much power a battery holds, and how long it lasts, depends on its lattice of metallic atoms—how well it can catch and release lithium ions. For decades, engineers have fiddled with designs that help this movement along. And they’ve gotten pretty good, if the electrical vehicles and phones of today are any barometer.
Hans Eric Melin, founder of specialist consultancy Circular Energy Storage, told BusinessGreen there was "no chance" for a UK recycler to rely solely on EV batteries alone before 2030, predicting that used EV battery supply would not reach beyond 100,000 tonnes before the end of the decade.
The fate of the UK’s automotive industry might ride on it — but it has no working prototype, no factory and no customers. Britishvolt has at least excelled in capturing the British establishment’s desire to build domestic battery manufacturing to underpin its automotive industry, says Hans Eric Melin, managing director of Circular Energy Storage, a lithium-ion battery recycling consultancy.
