This article outlines principles of sustainability and circularity of secondary batteries considering the life cycle of lithium-ion batteries as well as material recovery, component reuse, recycling efficiency, environmental impact, and economic viability.
The battery industry has to move from a linear to a circular value chain—one in which used materials are repaired, reused, or recycled. This transformative approach may also create huge economic potential, with some opportunities already available today (for instance, scrap recycling).
A circular battery value chain can effectively couple the transport and power sectors and is a foundation for transitioning to other sources of energy, such as hydrogen and power-to-liquid, after 2025 to achieve the target of limiting the increase in emissions to 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels.
Hence, the business model can improve the circularity of EV battery management. The business proposition for second-life applications is to potentially generate additional revenue by putting spent batteries to use in another application or selling it to a third party.
Another supply chain challenge is the uncertainty in the battery material demand estimations since EVs and LIBs are both emerging markets, and there is variability in the battery chemistry, EV adoption estimations, and other battery application parameters ( Rajaeifar et al., 2022 ).
In many respects, the current battery industry still acts as a linear value chain in which products are disposed of after use. Circularity, which focuses on reusing or recycling materials, or both, can reduce GHG intensity while creating additional economic value (Exhibit 14). The battery value chain can transform from linear to circular.
