An estimated 350,000 tonnes of waste electric vehicle batteries are set to be on the market by 2043
Veolia has today (10 January) unveiled plans to build an electric vehicle battery recycling plant in the West Midlands.
The proposed site in Minworth will be able to process 20% of the UK’s end of life vehicle batteries by 2024, Veolia claims.
According to the waste management company, the plant will “mark the first step in developing recycling technology and treatment capacity in the UK” for electric vehicle batteries.
The plant will initially discharge and dismantle batteries, Veolia explained, before the “mechanical and chemical separation recycling processes” will be completed.
Veolia will also “utilise its global network to establish a full circular economy solution in the next five years to produce battery precursors in Europe”.
Veolia already operates in the Minworth area, through a waste transfer station on the Minworth Industrial Estate, Sutton Coalfield. letsrecycle.com - link - Joshua Doherty - link - more like this - link
