The recycling of waste batteries in electric vehicles is not optimistic, and the batteries are even more 'failed'

Electric vehicles are welcomed by the general public because of their convenience and speed. However, the use of batteries for their energy supply equipment has also increased exponentially, and the recycling of waste batteries has become a major problem. Experts said that although the recycling of old batteries has been carried out for many years, there are still legal lags. The country should formulate more detailed and strict laws to regulate this industry. Recycling of waste batteries for electric vehicles is not optimistic. Recycling solves difficulties to be overcome. As a driver, batteries are the core of electric vehicles. The large number of new electric vehicles has increased the use of batteries for energy supply equipment exponentially. Because it contains heavy metal lead, any careless processing and recycling of batteries will pollute the environment. At present, the batteries used in my country's electric bicycles and other models are mainly lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Among them, lead-acid batteries occupy a mainstream position in the market due to their low prices. Although the current lithium-ion battery is the general trend, due to factors such as previous technology and price issues, lead-acid batteries are still dominant. Dr. Liu Lili from the Basel Convention Asia-Pacific Regional Center (Tsinghua University) said. The state’s recycling strategy for used batteries includes the 'Energy-saving and New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2012~2020)' issued in 2012 and the 'Notice on the 2016-2020 Financial Support Policy for the Promotion and Use of New Energy Vehicles' issued in 2014 (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)Experts generally believe that although the recycling of old batteries has been carried out for many years, there is still a phenomenon of legal lag, and the country should formulate more detailed and strict laws to regulate this industry. Moreover, in addition to the relevant departments to increase the investigation and punishment of the solid waste recycling market, government support should also be added. The recycling of lead-acid batteries is an environmental protection activity and the government should provide subsidies. According to Zhang Minyu, an engineer of the my country Battery Industry Association, the 'Waste Battery Pollution Prevention and Control Technology Policy' stipulates that manufacturers, importers and manufacturers of rechargeable battery products bear the responsibility of recycling used rechargeable batteries. Manufacturers who carry out recycling solutions must have recycling and disposal qualifications approved by the environmental protection department. The service life of an electric vehicle battery is only one to two years, and most lead-acid batteries have to be replaced after one year of use. At present, recycling and disposal permits can basically be said to be 'bind' issuance. Only in Shanghai and other places, in order to promote the recycling work, the recycling permit and the disposal permit are issued separately. Beijing Eco-Island Technology Co., Ltd. is the only professional solution organization with recycling and disposal functions such as incineration, landfill, and comprehensive utilization of resources. Battery recycling faces the dilemma of difficulty in landing collection points and community collection stations. Many illegal and illegal companies do not have professional disposal equipment, and it is difficult to harmlessly dispose of waste batteries purchased at high prices. In the recycling and utilization of waste batteries, there is a phenomenon that 'small workshops can't manage, and small companies can't manage' the ineffective supervision of violating companies, leading to non-standard battery recycling becoming a 'stubborn disease'. Zhang Minyu said. Cheng Minwen, a member of the Fuzhou Municipal Political Consultative Conference, is also deeply touched by this. He believes that the number of electric vehicles is increasing, but the recycling of waste batteries of electric vehicles is not strict. Many electric car companies discard the waste liquid after recycling the batteries, and then carry out simple packaging. A waste battery will contaminate nearly 500 acres of land, which causes great harm to the environment. Therefore, he proposed to formulate a special system for the processing, operation and recycling of electric vehicle batteries, such as stipulating that the company must recycle as many batteries as it sells, and it must be carried out in accordance with strict recycling standards. In addition, you can encourage the establishment of some companies that specialize in recycling and resolving used batteries.
