Recycling lithium-ion batteries to recover their critical metals has significantly lower environmental impacts than mining virgin metals, according to a new Stanford University lifecycle analysis published in Nature Communications.
Battery recycling's environmental impacts depend heavily on the processing facility's location and electricity source.
Indeed, the recycling of power batteries plays a substantial role in the environmental footprint of the life cycle. LCA results from Yoo et al. confirmed that the lifecycle GHG emissions of NCM811 produced from recycled materials were 40–48% lower than those produced from raw cathode active materials.
On a large scale, recycling could also help relieve the long-term supply insecurity -- physically and geopolitically -- of critical battery minerals. Lithium-ion battery recyclers source materials from two main streams: defective scrap material from battery manufacturers, and so-called "dead" batteries, mostly collected from workplaces.
The input of energy and material exhibited low contribution level (<5%) and the recycling of metal and cathode materials reduced the environmental impact of material reinput during battery reproduction, achieving carbon emission reduction successfully. However, the “physical utilization” technology had a negative environmental impact.
