What Are the Challenges in EV Battery Disposal and Recycling?
The end-of-life management of EV batteries presents substantial challenges. Improper disposal can lead to the release of toxic substances into the environment. Recycling is a viable solution, but it is currently limited by technical and economic barriers. Efficient recycling processes can recover valuable materials, reducing the need for new mining activities and minimizing environmental contamination. However, the development of comprehensive recycling infrastructure and the implementation of stringent regulations are essential to address these challenges effectively.
