Why Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Matters

As essential as lithium-ion batteries are, they also pose a significant risk to the environment.

Many lithium-ion batteries contain toxic metals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese, which are harmful to both humans and delicate ecosystems. A large percentage of batteries end up in landfills, where they eventually leach their contents into the soil and water, contaminating the local area.

Additionally, lithium-ion batteries are known to catch fire if they are damaged. In fact, fires at waste facilities and landfills are increasingly being linked to lithium-ion batteries that have been improperly discarded.

For instance, a landfill site in the Pacific-Northwest reported 124 fires between June 2017 and December 2020, which were attributed to lithium-ion battery waste. And that’s just one facility.

Moreover, our planet only has a finite amount of valuable metals used in battery production. As the global appetite for these resources grows, so does the energy-intensive and environmentally damaging processes used to mine them.

According to recent estimates, only about five percent of global lithium-ion batteries are recycled. That’s a lot of precious resources going to waste when they could be reused.

If only a fraction of the discarded batteries were recycled, the economic benefits would be huge. Not only from the cost savings of using recovered materials, but also through the reduced need to mine fresh materials.The
