Energy storage harness recycling

Can energy storage batteries be recycled?

The popularity and cost effectiveness of energy storage battery recycling depends on the battery chemistry. Lead-acid batteries, being eclipsed in new installations by lithium-ion but still a major component of existing energy storage systems, were the first battery to be recycled in 1912.

Where should energy storage batteries be disposed?

Due to these potential issues, disposal should only take place at dedicated waste management centres and in many cases are subject to standards or regulations relating to disposal of dangerous goods. The popularity and cost effectiveness of energy storage battery recycling depends on the battery chemistry.

Where can I recycle a battery?

One option for battery recycling is Targray, a company that offers comprehensive battery recycling solutions. At Targray, we understand the significance of proper battery disposal and the need to recover valuable materials while minimizing waste.

Could new extraction processes impact the business case for recycling?

Research into new extraction processes, such as those published in the International Journal of Energy Technology and Policy by the International Islamic University of Malaysia, could also impact the business case for recycling.

How can we reduce the environmental impact of battery disposal?

By optimizing material recovery and reducing waste, we contribute to the circular economy and help mitigate the environmental impact of battery disposal. Aluminum, copper, cobalt, nickel and lithium recovered at high purity as the battery metal precursors through a green hydro-metallurgical process.
