Global Issues

Issue1

Concentration and depletion risks of critical battery materials

Key materials such as cobalt and lithium are concentrated in specific regions, resulting in geopolitical and supply stability concerns.
Issue2

Rapid increase in end-of-life batteries

As EVs and stationary storage systems become more common, the volume of lithium‑ion batteries reaching end‑of‑life is rising quickly.
Issue3

Growing regulatory and traceability requirements

New frameworks such as the EU Battery Regulation are driving the need for compliance and transparent tracking across the value chain.
Issue4

Costly and inefficient battery recycling processes

Recycling technologies are still maturing, and disassembly, sorting, and material recovery involve high costs and operational inefficiencies.
Issue5

Quality assurance and market readiness of recycled materials

Market infrastructure for recycled materials is still emerging, and achieving consistent quality continues to be a key challenge.
