Japan and the United States have reached an agreement on trade in critical minerals for electric vehicle batteries, part of an effort to ensure secure supplies of strategically important resources. Thedealdue to be signed later Tuesday is expected to helpelectric vehiclesusing metals processed in Jap...
Mineral sourcing for EV batteries includes mining for nickel, cobalt, lithium, along with other natural minerals, such as graphite, tin and tantalum. When not managed and operated under an effective safety and sustainability policy, mineral mining can have serious implications. ‘Conflict minerals’...
ev batteries can last for 15-20 years; since the ev fleet on Britain’s roads is young, the amount of valuable stuff that is currently being exported is small. But as volumes grow, so will the pressure to recycle closer to home. According to Gree...

Here, government or local policies could help to divert old consumer electronics from landfill so their components can be reused, and establish the infrastructure for recycling new waste streams such as spent EV batteries. There will also be key planning decisions that affect the overall quantity ...
UAW believes that the transition to EVs demands the creation of a strong US supply chain not only for batteries but also the critical metals which power those batteries. TMC Chairman and CEO Gerard Barron commented: “We are pleased to be working...
Beijing also tightened controls on exports of graphite, which is used in EV and grid-storage batteries. China is the largest source for most of these materials and also dominates refining of those materials, which are used both for consumer goods and for military purposes. The limits ...
For example, less than 5% of all spent lithium-ion batteries are recycled,18 in large part because the packs are difficult and expensive to dismantle. Investing in innovation: Innovating new ways to reduce material intensity and encourage material substitution will alleviate supply constraints, while...
