Improving Recycling and Management of
EPA is planning to propose new rules to improve the management and recycling of end-of-life solar panels and lithium batteries.
Establishing a category of universal waste specifically for lithium batteries will improve safety standards and reduce fires from mismanaged end-of-life lithium batteries, while continuing to promote battery recycling. EPA is working on standards in line with current industry best practices to harmonize battery management across the industry.
EPA is planning to propose new rules to improve the management and recycling of end-of-life solar panels and lithium batteries.
Life cycle analysis confirmed recycling reduces environmental and economic impact. Strengthen regulatory approaches and government support to enhance recycling. An integrated approach is required for effective Lithium-ion battery recycling.
International regulations for responsible battery recycling encourage stakeholder collaboration to improve lithium-ion battery recycling rates. Continued support for recycling technologies and regulations will create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly battery ecosystem. Fig. 15.
