(1) Less recyclable amount
A large number of used batteries are scattered in the hands of the people, but the people have no place to put them, so they are treated together with the domestic garbage, so that the scrap batteries recovered from individuals are almost zero, and most of the recycled batteries are generated during the production process of the manufacturing company. The number of large-scale power batteries recovered from waste materials or stockpiled materials is even rarer.
(2) The recovery system is not sound
A system dedicated to recycling batteries has not been established in China, and it is mainly the extensive collection of small workshops. my country is a major producer and consumer of lithium-ion batteries, but due to its large population, the per capita battery population is relatively small. For a long time, recycling companies have not recycled individual lithium-ion batteries that have no recycling value.
(3) High barriers to entry
Enterprises wishing to engage in the recycling and disposal of waste batteries must apply for a hazardous waste business license in accordance with the "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Management Measures for Hazardous Waste Experience Permits". However, companies that can meet the qualifications for large-scale recycling are not On the contrary, there are a large number of companies with small scale and low technology, which causes the problem that batteries cannot be collected in a centralized manner.
(4) High recovery cost
A large number of lithium iron phosphate materials are used in the positive electrode of power or energy storage batteries, and the demand is much greater than that of ordinary small batteries. The recycling of them has high social value, but the recycling cost is high, and the lithium iron phosphate battery does not contain precious Metals have low economic value.
(5) Weak recycling awareness
For a long time, there has been very little publicity and education on the recycling of used batteries in our country, resulting in a lack of in-depth understanding of the pollution hazards of used batteries and a lack of awareness of conscious recycling.
