What happens to the batteries?

The increasing number of electric cars on our roads translates to more and more of their batteries being disposed of. ARN collects both lithium-ion starter batteries and drive batteries.

Plastics in today’s cars will still be used in car parts 20, 30 and even 40 years’ time

Despite there being an average of 208 kilos of plastic in a car, currently a mere 19 per cent of it is recycled. Most of the plastic in an end-of-life vehicle (ELV) ends up in landfill, or is given a one-way ticket to an energy-recovery centre. This situation must be changed by mandating higher reuse rates and applying new plastic-recycling technologies.

Climate change, what will it mean for car recycling?

During the recent IARC in Basel, Switzerland, Catherine Lenaerts of Febelauto gave a presentation on natural disasters and how they affect car recycling. As our climate continues to warm, we will be forced to allow for the increased likelihood of flooding and its consequences: one of which is more end-of-life vehicles.

Recycling EV batteries: the 5 biggest opportunities and challenges

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates that by 2030 the production of lithium-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries will increase to 6TWh (6,000GWh) a year, enough to power 109 million EVs. A challenge we face, however, is how to provide enough raw materials for all those batteries. Recycling will certainly play a major role, although there are still at least five hurdles to clear and opportunities to be seized.
