But when they generate so much waste, it\u2019s hard to see the advantage over fossil fuels,\u201d says Tim Johnston, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of battery recycling company Li-Cycle.<\/p><p>With a massive deployment of EVs expected in the next few years, the first wave of vehicles is expected to retire around 2027, producing vast quantities of battery waste.<\/p><p>\u201cThere are currently around 830,000 tonnes of lithium-ion waste globally. By 2030, that number will reach approximately 3.2 million tonnes,\u201d says Johnston.<\/p><p>The lithium-ion batteries found in our laptops and smartphones are typically smelted down at present, with 40-50% of their materials recovered and sent into industries like steel production. It is a process that produces significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. And because the recovered materials aren\u2019t pure enough for batteries, new minerals must be mined for every device.<\/p><p>On top of that, emissions are generated in the globalized supply chains that typify the industry. \u201cIf you look at the battery supply chain today,\u201d says Jean-Christophe Lambert, Business Development Manager at Lithion Recycling. \u201cYou\u2019ve got all the minerals coming from South America, Africa, and Australia heading to Asia to be refined and put into batteries. And those batteries are either going to North America or Europe.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#c1022f\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"closing-the-loop\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\">Closing the loop<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p>The solution is to cultivate EV supply chains that re-introduce battery materials from end-of-life vehicles, while minimizing carbon miles. For Canada, with its abundant mineral deposits and world-class automotive sector, companies like Li-Cycle and Lithion are the last step in closing the loop on such a localized, circular supply chain.<\/p><p>Both Li-Cycle and Lithion have their own patented solutions for recycling lithium-ion batteries, recovering approximately 95% of the battery\u2019s materials, at a purity indistinguishable from freshly mined minerals. Lambert says this technology means that \u201cbatteries can be recycled indefinitely.\u201d<\/p><p>The processes both have vanishingly low GHG emissions, especially when powered by renewable electricity, which Canada\u2019s substantial hydroelectricity capacity can supply at low cost.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Licycle_belt-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">New battery recycling techniques are being developed to reduce an EV&#8217;s lifetime impact on the planet. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Both companies are focused on ensuring supply links are as short as possible. Lithion\u2019s business model rests on forming localized hubs with cell manufacturers to minimize how far depleted batteries travel for recycling, as well as reducing the distance for recycled materials to find new life as fresh EV cells. Once its proof-of-concept operation in Quebec becomes a commercial plant in 2022, the company plans a rapid roll-out of 20 new facilities across North America and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Li-Cycle follows a similar model, using a rapid deployment modular system it hopes will enable the company to keep pace with ballooning demand as EVs become more commonplace. The company opened a new Spoke in Rochester, New York late last year, installing the facility in just four weeks of it being shipped from Li-Cycle\u2019s factory in Ontario.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"a-canadian-solution\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\">A Canadian solution<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p>That these companies should emerge in Canada is no coincidence.
