Recycling Problem in China's Lithium Battery Export

Lithium batteries have become an indispensable material for energy transformation and the development of the low-carbon economy. China's lithium batteries are the world's leading high-quality materials. As the main destinations of China's lithium battery exports, Europe and America have put forward more stringent recycling requirements for imported lithium batteries, which will have a significant negative impact on China's lithium batteries export data. In addition, the scrapped lithium battery itself has a greater recycling value. If the lithium battery recycling efficiency can be greatly improved, it will promote China's lithium battery industry to a higher level. Therefore, the improvement of international lithium battery recycling standards is not only a challenge to China's lithium battery industry, but also an opportunity for China's lithium battery transformation and quality improvement. China should actively respond to the challenges, increase research on lithium battery compliance of export and recycling, and take the path of sustainable development.
