Fig. 3 depicts the strategic initiatives that promote the decrease of battery waste generation, which include new methods for reuse, recycling, fixing only the damaged components in batteries, and the implementation of government schemes for the collection of used batteries.
Massive spent batteries cause resource waste and environmental pollution. In the last decades, various approaches have been developed for the environmentally friendly recycling of waste batteries, as attractive secondary resources.
Battery recycling is a recycling activity that aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed as municipal solid waste. Batteries contain a number of heavy metals and toxic chemicals and disposing of them by the same process as regular household waste has raised concerns over soil contamination and water pollution. [ 1 ]
Recent progress in the recycling strategies for the waste batteries is reviewed, as attractive secondary resources and functional materials.
Many cities offer battery recycling services for lead–acid batteries. In some jurisdictions, including U.S. states and Canadian provinces, a refundable deposit is paid on batteries. This encourages recycling of old batteries instead of abandonment or disposal with household waste.
The EU depends on non-EU countries for the raw materials in batteries, so reusing and recycling them helps the EU keep a competitive advantage on the market and helps prevent possible shortages in the supply chain. An ideal battery management and recycling system begins as soon as a battery is no longer usable.
