Why It's So Hard To Recycle Electric-Car Batteries | World Wide Waste
#electriccar #recycle
An electric-car battery can weigh thousands of pounds. As more electric cars hit the road, the race is on to find a sustainable way to deal with these batteries once they die. One startup uses a high-tech shredding system to recycle battery waste. But it can’t recover all the valuable metals from it just yet.

Will recycled batteries last as long as new ones. See this in the lead acid car batteries. Car batteries that have(Virgin) lead cost a lot more.
What is a 2 year old, plainly obsolete video doing the rounds again on YT?
Found this video because I am currently trying to dispose of a 12V LifePO4 battery from a solar set up. NO ONE WILL TAKE IT, not even the city’s hazardous waste center.
How can i give my dead batteries to you
A rather slanted view of the battery recycling industry. There are already a number of recycling companies worldwide. Like Redwood Materials in the U.S. Redwood recovers 95% of the previous metals as well as all other materials. That includes Lithium, it looks like Li Cycle is on their own not recovering lithium, well if that’s true. It’s obvious that recycling of EV batteries will become mandated like it has been for decades with lead acid batteries. I just hate FUD , I suggest next time more research or are you trying to push your narrative? I think the later
2 years later, and we’re learning more about how ineffective electric cars are.
temps get cold? the range drops, and it takes 5 times as long to charge.
the state can tell you to not charge your car (the grid can’t handle it either)
and most of the energy to power it still comes from coal and natural gas power plants.
I’ll buy electric when… suv is 0-10% more than gas, can "re-fuel" to 100% in less than 30 minutes, and gets 500 miles per "tank"
550 million electric cars by 2040, yet we’re going to have shortages of cobalt and manganese in less than ten years, ok.
Greenhouse gas isnt hurting the planet. Why so many dont know this?
Joke is on you.
Let’s shred the things into microplastics to recycle batteries because it’s faster…. Anyway capitalism buying time at the cost of environment
Thanos was right. We just have too many damn people wasting resources 😅😅😅
Lady you’re full of crap,, name, just one power plant that was built in the last 20 years,, Our electrical grid is not improving,,,
When we talk about recycling electric car batteries I compare it to recycling the eggs out of a cake.
I commend this business what they are doing for the environment .
Business Insider and its subsidiaries just want to make negative EV posts.
Hello? Woke people, where does electric come from??? COAL
The battery Bass-o-matic
The real problem with lithium recycling is they don’t look at the cost and all the processes involved in making virgin lithium.
If they looked at the infrastructure necessary and TOTAL COST in order to mine it and turn it into a finished product, lithium recycling would literally boom because people would be making so much money to actually do it.
– That’s where the cost lies:
– paying people appropriately enough to do it, because you don’t have all those extra mining- just different refining processes and protection.
My favorite part was the smelting. Giant fires like hell everywhere, are what will save the planet.
But not only do we need to mine these rare earth metals, we need billions of tons of copper to build the power grid and charging infrastructure.
Can anyone with expertise explained to me , how do they separate the Lithium along with other rate metal from each other in the blackmass?
Make the batteries out of and run off of Hemp!!!
oil is forever lasting
How do you dispose the liquid used to help recycle the battery? And how toxic is it, And how much of it is needed to recycle a ev?
More CO2 means healthy plant life. So more of all life. What’s the big deal about CO2? The Earth has had periods of higher CO2 than we have now and there was more life that flourished. I smell politics.
Oh well one problem is you can get killed by a charged battery – second if you break it open it can catch fire. The chemicals are toxic and flamable. It isn’t worth the effort.
But if you believe the ECO loonies, the technology to efficiently recycle EV batteries is well established, that’s why they are so good for the planet.
Put it this way, exctracting the anode and cathode crud is far cheaper than getting them from the mine.
5:28 .."improvements to the electricity grid"…ummm…no. Wait until everyone has to evacuate Florida in their electric cars to escape a hurricane.
Thermal runaway the new green deal.!!🤣😂🤣🤣😉
This guy says no oxygen no fire. Others say the batteries burn even underwater with no oxygen. Which is true?
And Ali-cycle is bankrupt now 😢
3:00 "there is no oxygen there, without oxygen there is no fire"
Hope they are aware that Li ion battery have their own oxygen supply built in.
Contrary to the FUD battery recycling is very efficient. It recycles 95% of the precious metals and has either current solutions or upcoming solutions for all the other materials. It’s a lot lower cost to recycle than mine. As the EV industry grows the amount of mining will substantially reduce to a fraction of what it is now and that’s with the huge coming growth of EVs. The reality of the matter is the cost of recycling will fall as the industry build scale. The recovery of precious metals does not reduce in the amount of times they are recycled.
There is much I’ll informed comment on EV batteries
$18,000 for a replacement car battery for an electric.
Booshito 💩💩💩💩
Umm but is grafite really all that valuable?
Without oxygen there’s no fires? I thought lithium batteries were hard to put out because they create their own oxygen? I thought you could bury them while they’re burning or throw them in water, and they still continue to burn and/or explode?
Electric cars are not the solution wake up folks.
Pure bullshits
The creation of EV batteries creates pollution.
Most of the Energy Companies that creates the electricity to charge those batteries creates pollution.
Recyling the EV batteries creates pollution.
Why are we using EVs again?
So , $3,500 ÷ 1 metric ton = around $1.59 p/lb
How much does any sized lithium battery cost in comparison ?
Edit :
& only the nickel & cobalt are recycled , , woohooo
How much did you rake off the other government prints too? Just curious?
How frequent is battery recycling compared to gasoline and oil recycling? Does gasoline ever explode? Doesn’t refining gas and oil use more Cobalt than batteries? Are you aware that more gasoline tankers trucks, carrying 10,000 gallons of gasoline, catch fire than Teslas every year? Do you know teslas are the safest on the road per nhtsa data. Evergreen is a company that’s been recycling for three years now.
I can’t believe that lady was talking about the grid. The EVs are the problem that is going to take out the grid. There is no sustainability in EVs. We don’t have the infrastructure for it, they’re hugely expensive, not reliable , and there’s always that potential to blow up while you’re driving. It’s not a sustainable energy and it doesn’t help the environment. Sorry not a good thing. Keep on trying and destroy the environment while you’re at it.
Another negative aspect of EVs. The best thing to do is to not make them in the first place.
Just a quick point, carbon and graphite are not separate elements…they are both carbon
Most cars makers are shifting to LFP batteries, whose majority composed of Iron and Phosphate. Lithium is ~5% and other elements are less than 1%. Hence they don’t focus on removing the small elements since it is not profitable yet!
This process needs to be mainstreamed else large amount of land will be landfills
