Daimler Truck North America’s Post

Of some reason I have repeated the same message in meeting after meeting this week. That the value of a battery at end of life is a choice. If a battery is treated as scrap it will be scrap. If it's treated as a valuable asset that's likely what it will be. And the sooner that choice is made, the more a battery can be worth. In a circular economy ownership is key. From the point you loose ownership you also loose initiative. But ownership in itself is not enough. You also need expertise, capabilities and the faith (and the data) to leap into the future. That's really our aim with CES Online. To provide the data and insights to help our users understand what's next, as well as a tool to help players in the market to find the right partnerships. Our new recycling and reuse databases which we launched a few weeks ago do both those things. https://lnkd.in/eQtAj3a5

More than 400 lithium-ion battery recycling facilities are planned to be commissioned before 2030 in the world with a total capacity of over 10 million tonnes of battery waste. There are big differences in scope, size, funding and technology between players. There are also already today over 200 companies active in reuse and refurbishment which strongly contribute to truly circular industry. Our two databases, the Global Recycler Database and the Global Reuse and Refurbishment Database are aimed to help OEMs, recyclers, car dismantlers, ESS operators and fleet operators to find the right partnerships.

### Unlocking the Future of EVs with Battery Recycling 🚀 Battery recycling is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry by converting waste into valuable resources. As the popularity of EVs continues to surge, the importance of sustainable solutions to manage their battery lifecycle becomes paramount. This practice not only conserves essential materials but also significantly lessens environmental impacts, presenting a win-win for both the planet and the economy. The burgeoning demand for electric vehicles highlights the critical need for effective battery recycling processes. By leveraging innovative recycling methods, we can extract key components from used batteries, ensuring a continuous supply of materials needed for new EV production. This shift towards a more circular economy stands to benefit manufacturers, consumers, and ecosystems alike. As the EV market expands, so do the economic opportunities tied to battery recycling. By investing in this sector, companies can reap financial rewards while supporting sustainability goals. Battery recycling is not just an environmental imperative; it's an economic strategy that promises substantial returns in the long run. How do you think battery recycling can reshape the future of the EV industry? #BatteryRecycling #EVIndustry #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #ElectricVehicles #GreenTech

As we seek more sustainable solutions for our planet, the recycling and reuse of electric motors play a crucial role in the circular economy and waste reduction. The electric motor industry is adapting to meet environmental challenges and promote greener, more responsible practices 🌍🔄. The recycling of electric motors involves recovering valuable materials such as copper, steel, and permanent magnets, which can be repurposed into new products. This process not only reduces the need for natural resource extraction but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with the improper disposal of old motors 🔧🔄. The reuse of electric motors is another important strategy to promote sustainability. Many motors, after proper maintenance and upgrades, can be repurposed for new applications or refurbished to extend their lifespan. This approach helps reduce waste and save resources, contributing to a more sustainable product life cycle ⚙️🔧. Furthermore, the eco-design of electric motors is gaining prominence. Manufacturers are increasingly incorporating design principles that facilitate the disassembly and recycling of components, ensuring that the environmental impact at the end of the motor's life is minimized 🌱🔍. At BField Motors and Drives, we are committed to promoting sustainable and responsible practices in the management of electric motors. We believe that recycling and reuse are fundamental to a greener future, and we are working to incorporate these practices into our processes and products 🌍💚.

Economic incentives frequently serve as the crucial driving force for the extensive implementation of sustainable initiatives. EV battery recycling is a good example. Beyond offering environmental benefits, it creates a closed-loop system for retrieving valuable metals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements, ultimately driving resource security and economic opportunity. This is the essence of circular logistics - creating a loop that is both environmentally friendly and economically rewarding. https://okt.to/YQcnKD #servicelogistics #circularlogistics #electricvehicles #TEAMEV #DHL

At the heart of the EV revolution lies a crucial need: sustainable battery recycling. 🔋 As the demand for electric vehicles soars, the challenge of responsibly managing spent batteries becomes paramount. Recently, we had the privilege of collaborating with a government-funded company on a groundbreaking project. This visionary team, backed by private investors, embarked on a mission to redefine battery recycling. Their goal? To create a closed-loop system that extracts precious metals from spent batteries, paving the way for new, eco-friendly energy solutions. Recognizing the importance of synergy, they also acquired a chemical company, securing a vital component for their recycling process. This strategic move allowed them to refine their techniques and expand their capabilities. Together, we're pioneering a new era of sustainability and couldn't be more excited. 🙌 Who else out there is passionate about sustainability? ♻️ #evbattery #evbatteries #batteryrecycling #ecofriendly #sustainability

Fantastic virtual session yesterday discussing 'Gigafactory In-House Battery Recycling: The Business Case'. Attached outputs for your viewing pleasure. Key takeaways include: - Fantastic potential to include re-pair, re-manufacturing, re-cycling* facilities on EV battery producer sites with financial and IP protection benefits among others. *(Pre-treatment 'zero voltage discharge>semi-auto disassembly>crushing/separation') - Opportunities for on-site re-cycling centres to support pre-treatment capabilities, plus incorporate waste storage & thermal runaway quarantine facilities. - To maintain focus on core business activities (I.e. production); Off-site 3rd party collaborations should be encouraged to include second-life re-purposing and downstream recycling aligned to the 'circular economy' mantra; Including thermal pre-treatment and final stage hydrometallurgical treatment to maximise material recovery. Much appreciation to all attendees for their amazing participation, plus special thanks to Ecobat's Tom Seward for acting as esteemed guest speaker. Watch this space for follow-up focus sessions under the theme of 'Sustainable Gigafactories: Design & Build'. - ‘Facility EHS considerations at cell manufacturing level' - 'Hot spot detection & monitoring approaches' - 'Energy optimization during regenerative battery test cycling' - 'Anode + cathode recycling' #EVbatteries #Gigafactories #DesignBuild #Facilityengineering #ISO14001 #Environmentalmanagement #Lithiumion #Batteryrecycling

Mindful of the fast pace that electric vehicles are replacing gas-powered engines, the Responsible Battery Coalition is poised to help shepherd the reuse, recycling and responsible disposal of these and other batteries in ways that meet environmental-protection and sustainability goals. Steve Christensen, the group's executive director, explains more about this mission and best practices for emerging battery technologies. A shoutout to Durin Hendricks for setting up this informative interview! #batteryreuse #recyledbatteries #batterydisposal #sustainability #environmentalprotection
