Lithium battery waste will reach 3 million tonnes by 2020


New Delhi, July 29, 2021, Thursday

With the advent of electric vehicles, pollution from batteries is likely to increase. For the production of electronic vehicles, China produced 200,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries in 2020. Lithium batteries are important for pollution-free electric vehicles, but as production continues to grow, the world's lithium battery waste will reach 3 million tons by 2020. Therefore, there is a need to focus on lithium recycling from now on, but only 0.5 per cent is recycled. According to one source, recycling is only 5 to 7 percent in Australia and barely 3 percent in the United States and European countries.

Over the next 10 years, 150 million electric vehicles will be on the market. Out of which more than 110 million lithium ion batteries will have completed their efficiency. According to the International Energy Agency, by the end of 203, lithium-ion battery industries will have crossed 70 billion. Unused discharge batteries contain toxic chemicals. Cellphone batteries are also on the rise in electronic devices. Petrol and diesel prices, which are considered traditional fuels, continue to rise

Thus the age of solar and electric vehicles is about to begin. Consumption and production of lithium for electric vehicles will continue to increase, so proper disposal of discharged batteries will also be a problem. It is estimated that 15 billion lithium batteries are thrown away every year. In the United States alone, 3 billion batteries (dry cells) are disposed of annually. When these batteries leak, the chemical in the battery mixes with the soil, water and atmosphere, causing global warming.
