Secure Packing of Batteries

Before EV batteries leave their collection point, they must be carefully packed to prevent leaks, short circuits, or damage. Each battery is inspected for defects, then placed in protective, insulated containers that meet safety standards. Proper labelling and handling ensure that everyone in the supply chain is aware of the battery type and potential hazards.

ADR Transport of Waste

Transporting EV batteries requires strict safety protocols due to their size, weight, and chemical composition. Documentation ensure accountability throughout the journey, while trained personnel manage loading and unloading to prevent spills or mechanical damage. Safe transport is critical for protecting people, property, and the environment.

Recycling of Batteries

Once batteries reach a certified recycling facility, they undergo specialised processes to recover valuable metals like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper. First, batteries are disassembled and sorted, then shredded or chemically treated to extract reusable materials. Non-recyclable components are safely disposed of according to environmental regulations.

Electric vehicle batteries we commonly collect

There are several types of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, each with different materials, performance characteristics, and recycling considerations. Here’s a quick overview of the main types:

Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries

These are the most common batteries used in modern EVs. They offer high energy density, long lifespan, and efficient charging.

Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries

NiMH batteries were common in early hybrid vehicles. They are durable but store less energy than lithium-ion batteries.

Lead-Acid Batteries

These are traditional rechargeable batteries that are heavy and have low energy density. They’re mostly used as auxiliary batteries in EVs to power electronics, not for main propulsion.
