RECOVAS - Recycling of EV Cells from Obsolete Vehicles At Scale

电力革命正在加快步伐。随着越来越多的汽车实现电气化，对电池和电池材料的需求也越来越大。这些电池最终将达到使用寿命，必须重新利用或回收利用。目前，英国缺乏回收电池和回收材料的基础设施，因此汽车制造商要花费数千英镑将电池组运到国外进行处理。这不仅是不可持续的，它还出口对未来交通运输至关重要的贵重金属。RECOVAS项目将通过开发收集和回收电动汽车及其电池的基础设施，在英国引入新的电动汽车电池循环供应链。

The electric revolution is gathering pace. As more vehicles become electrified, greater volumes of batteries and battery materials are required. These batteries will eventually reach end of life and must be repurposed or recycled. Currently, the UK lacks the infrastructure to recycle the batteries and recover their materials, so vehicle manufacturers are paying thousands of pounds to ship the battery packs abroad for treatment. Not only is this unsustainable, it exports valuable metals that are vital to the future of transportation. The RECOVAS project will introduce a new circular supply chain for electric vehicle batteries in the UK by developing the infrastructure to collect and recycle electric vehicles and their batteries.
