Veolia Battery Recycling Facilities and Services
Veolia’s permitted and licensed battery recycling facility in Minworth (UK) can arrange for the safe collection and recycling of your end-of-life Li-ion batteries. It marks the first step in developing recycling technology and treatment capacity of batteries, which is ever critical with an anticipated 350,000 tonnes of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries predicted to be in the country by 2040.
The plant will initially discharge and dismantle batteries before the mechanical and chemical separation recycling processes are completed. In addition, Veolia will utilise its global network to establish a full circular economy solution in the next five years to produce battery precursors in Europe.
