As the electric vehicle (EV) market accelerates, attention is turning to battery recycling. Much of the material in the lithium-ion batteries that power these vehicles can be recycled and, in many cases, reused in new batteries or other products. If done effectively on a large enough scale, battery recycling can help address long-term mineral shortages and improve the sustainability of electric vehicles. After all, the ultimate goal of electric vehicles is to address environmental and air quality issues.
