Battery Recycling
Battery recycling recovers materials from used batteries.
What is Battery Recycling?
It recovers lithium, nickel and cobalt. EU rules set targets. Processes include mechanical and chemical methods. The EU Battery Regulation sets requirements for collection, recycled content and material recovery rates. Recycling plants recover a high share of valuable metals. Manufacturers and dealers take back used high-voltage batteries, which must be transported under special rules.
How it works
Batteries are dismantled and processed.
Why it matters for your car
Return old batteries properly. Do not dispose in household waste.
