<p>Electric vehicle battery recycling is covered by the Waste Batteries and Accumulators
Regulations 2009, which ban the disposal of automotive and industrial batteries to
landfill and incineration. This also establishes take-back and recycling obligations
for industrial battery producers. The UK’s £274 million Faraday Battery Challenge
is playing a leading role in promoting the reuse and recycling of battery components.
This includes several industry led collaborative R&D projects and the Faraday
Institution’s £10m ‘ReLib’ research project. ReLib is developing the technological,
economic and legal infrastructure to allow high percentages of the materials in lithium
ion batteries at the end of their first life to be reused or recycled. The Faraday
Institution also participate in the Global Battery Alliance – a World Economic Forum
initiative which aims to accelerate action towards a socially responsible, environmentally
sustainable and innovative battery supply chain.</p><p> </p>
