Battery producers are obliged to recycle their batteries as defined by the EU Battery Directive. However, the UK at present does not have an automotive battery recycling industry. The purpose of the project is to investigate the economic potential and define the business model for a UK end-of-life automotive battery recycling industry and the current and future barriers to such a venture. The business model will seek to determine the stakeholders, material flows, recycling processes, recovered material value, business relationships between the stakeholders, and the barriers to be overcome.The project also seeks to understand the information required in order to evaluate whether automotive battery packs can be re-used or have reached end-of-life, either at whole pack, module or cell level. As part of this we will examine the possible testing approaches that may be required in order to determine re-use feasibility. These have not, to our knowledge, been systematically developed for this use, and therefore developing a rigorous testing methodology that can determine when batteries have reached end-of-life will be of use to the emerging EV industry in the UK.

根据欧盟电池指令的定义，电池生产商有义务回收他们的电池。然而，英国目前还没有汽车电池回收行业。该项目的目的是调查英国报废汽车电池回收行业的经济潜力，并确定商业模式，以及此类合资企业目前和未来的障碍。该商业模式将寻求确定利益相关者、材料流动、回收过程、回收材料价值、利益相关者之间的业务关系以及需要克服的障碍。该项目还寻求了解所需信息，以便评估汽车电池组是否可以重复使用或是否已达到使用寿命结束，无论是在整个电池组、模块还是电池层面。作为这项工作的一部分，我们将审查可能需要的测试方法，以确定重复使用的可行性。据我们所知，这些都没有系统地开发用于这一用途，因此，开发一种严格的测试方法，以确定电池何时达到寿命结束，将对英国新兴的电动汽车行业有用。
