The automotive world is changing rapidly. According to forecasts, by 2030, 23 million people in the world will become happy owners of electric cars. General Motors has announced plans to stop selling gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Audi's goal is to close their production by 2033, and many other major automotive companies are following suit. By 2040, two-thirds of global passenger car sales will be electric vehicles, according to Bloomberg NEF. While this may seem like the ideal path, there is one big problem. Currently, electric vehicles and powerful batteries typically use lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, which are difficult to recycle. As the world seeks to electrify vehicles and store renewable energy, a major question looms: what will happen to all the old lithium batteries? By 2040, 5,750,000 tons of these will be decommissioned. This sets the task of improving technologies and increasing the capacity for recycling batteries that have exhausted their resource. After all, if the current trends in the handling of used batteries continue, most of them may end up in landfills, with all the ensuing problems for the environment.
