Yes! Electric car batteries can be recycled with the help of our specialist team. We collect these lithium-ion batteries nationwide, transporting them to licensed recycling centres.
We also collect a range of other automotive waste types. This includes tyres, lead-acid batteries from petrol or diesel cars, and bumpers.
Our EV battery recycling service provides an environmentally friendly solution for managing end-of-life batteries. This ensures that valuable recycled materials are recovered and manufactured into new products.
Contact our team to provide the quantity of EV batteries you would like to recycle. We can then analyse your needs and provide a no-obligation quote.
Large volumes of lithium-ion batteries must be packaged safely. This includes wrapping batteries individually and securing them with tape to be stored in a plastic drum of vermiculite.
Once the quote is accepted, our team can arrange a collection that best suits your business requirements.
Once collected, our ADR-drivers will transport the hazardous waste to licensed recycling facilities. Here, they are not only safely disposed of but also recycled into new products.
We offer a secure and professional EV battery recycling service nationwide. Book a collection for your electric vehicles (EV) waste today.
We understand that every business is unique, which is why we offer tailored recycling solutions. Our services are ideal for a wide array of sectors, including:
Automotive Industry
Whether you are an EV manufacturer, battery manufacturer, dealership, or maintenance service, we help responsibly recycle EV batteries.
Electronics Manufacturers
Companies that produce or handle electronic goods utilising lithium-ion technology can benefit from our specialised recycling processes, ensuring materials are recovered and reused.
Fleet Operators
For businesses operating EV fleets, our recycling services help manage battery end-of-life responsibly, maintaining your green credentials and supporting your sustainability objectives.
Government and Public Sector
We support public institutions in managing EV battery waste, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting community sustainability.
Disposing of EV batteries using our recycling service is essential to minimising your impact on the planet. According to an EEA report, GHG emissions of EV’s were 17-30% lower than the emissions of petrol and diesel cars.
However, the environmental impact of EV battery production and disposal has caused concern. Electric vehicle batteries are manufactured using three main metals including lithium, cobalt and nickel. Here are some key statistics to keep in mind:
EV batteries contain these valuable materials, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Recycling allows the recovery of these resources, reducing the need for new mining activities, which are energy-intensive and environmentally damaging. By recycling, we conserve natural resources and reduce the dependency on raw material extraction.
The extraction and processing of raw materials for battery production have significant environmental impacts, including habitat destruction, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling battery materials mitigates these impacts by lessening the demand for new materials.
Recycling car batteries is essential for sustainable resource use and reducing environmental impact. We can collect your EV battery waste in bulk loads, ensuring businesses are following UK government guidelines.
We can also collect lithium batteries from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. Our recycling capacity covers a vast range of battery types, enabling businesses to dispose of waste safely.
On average, electric car batteries last between 8 – 12 years. This depends on various factors, including maintenance, environmental conditions and usage.
Dead electric car batteries can be collected in large volumes with the help of our team. The batteries will then be transported to licensed facilities for recycling and repurposing into new products.
These batteries are typically lithium-ion, the same basic technology used in many consumer electronics, but scaled up for automotive use.
The battery pack in an EV consists of many smaller cells grouped into modules. These cells contain a cathode (positive electrode), an anode (negative electrode), and an electrolyte that allows ions to move between the electrodes. When the EV is being driven, lithium ions move from the anode through the electrolyte to the cathode, releasing electrons that flow through an external circuit and power the electric motor.
Batteries are tested to assess their remaining capacity. Some may be suitable for “second-life” applications, such as energy storage systems, while others proceed to recycling. The battery pack is manually disassembled to separate the battery cells from the module casing and other components.
Cells and modules are then shredded to break down the solid structure into smaller pieces, allowing for the separation of materials. Metals can then be recovered and used to manufacture new batteries.
