Forecasting quantities of critical raw materials in obsolete feature and smart phones in Greece: A path to circular economy

Eleni Kastanaki et al.

Summary: Mobile phone waste is increasing due to the short lifetime and high ownership. This study estimates the quantities of obsolete mobile phones in Greece from 1995 to 2035 and identifies the Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) and Precious Metals (PMs) embedded in them. The findings suggest that efficient recycling of obsolete phones can meet the demand for key metals in new smartphones for more than a decade, highlighting the importance of managing valuable e-waste.

What is the optimized cost for a used battery?: Economic analysis in case of energy storage system as 2nd life of battery

Hyunjun Lee et al.

Summary: An electric vehicle is seen as a promising alternative transport due to its eco-friendly nature, but the increasing use of these vehicles has resulted in a new environmental issue - Li-ion battery waste. This study proposes a strategy of repurposing used batteries through a stationary energy system connected to a 1 MW photovoltaic system. Techno-economic analysis reveals that reducing the purchase cost is essential for the economic feasibility of this repurposing strategy.

Crashed Electric Vehicle Handling and Recommendations-State of the Art in Germany

Katharina Woehrl et al.

Summary: As electric vehicles become more prevalent on the roads, there is a growing need for experiences and correct handling procedures in accidents involving these vehicles. This study aims to provide a complete overview of the accident handling sequence in Germany, offering recommendations for unexplored areas, particularly comparing and discussing different extinguishing and deactivation methods. Due to the lack of live-feed battery data on site, other criteria must be considered to assess the battery's state and ensure the wrecked vehicle is handed over to towing services in a safe condition.

End of Electric Vehicle Batteries: Reuse vs. Recycle

Yash Kotak et al.

Summary: The paper explores the options of reusing or recycling EV batteries after their initial use, finding that both approaches have their advantages and challenges. While battery reuse shows promise in various applications, cost and life-cycle analysis indicate the complexity of the decision-making process. More detailed studies are needed to determine the optimal approach for each case, with a focus on developing cost and energy-efficient methods for battery recycling.

Toward Sustainable Reuse of Retired Lithium-ion Batteries from Electric Vehicles

Yang Hua et al.

Summary: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely integrated in renewable resources and electric vehicles due to their advantages. Reuse of EV LIBs holds great potential but faces challenges such as economic, technical, and regulatory issues. Improvements in standardization, big data, and cloud-based technologies are needed for the industrialization of reuse and recycling.

A dynamic material flow analysis of lithium-ion battery metals for electric vehicles and grid storage in the UK: Assessing the impact of shared mobility and end-of-life strategies

Mashael Kamran et al.

Summary: The challenge of limiting human-induced climate change is critical for the future, with a particular focus on emission reduction in the energy and transport sectors. Recycling end-of-life electric vehicle batteries is effective in reducing metal demand, while a shift to shared mobility could potentially lead to negative demand for virgin battery metals.

Circular business models for electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries: An analysis of current practices of vehicle manufacturers and policies in the EU

Levke Albertsen et al.

Summary: This research focuses on the discussion of Circular Economy (CE) strategies for Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and their adoption among European vehicle manufacturers. Many manufacturers are primarily focused on repair, refurbishing, and repurposing, with variations in operationalization linked to the degree of manufacturer involvement. Close collaboration between stakeholders is necessary for Circular Business Models (CBMs), highlighting the importance of designing for disassembly and building expertise to diagnose LIBs' health for life-extending strategies. The adoption of CE strategies is influenced by external policy drivers and internal factors, with a need for further policy development to ensure adherence to waste hierarchy in the EU battery legislation proposal.
