Gigafactories are recycling old EV batteries into new ones

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Robin Zeng, its chairman, said recently that he believes it is possible to reduce most of the carbon footprint of a battery through the use of renewable power, large-scale recycling of battery materials, energy conservation and improved production processes.
55% : From July 2024 the carbon footprint of batteries in s sold in the European Union will need to be declared.
51% : A combination of recycling and the use of renewable power -- in Sweden, Northvolt has access to plentiful hydro and wind energy -- means that as batteries themselves get greener, any raw materials still required to make them, along with the associated mining and shipping of those materials, will come to represent a bigger proportion of a battery's overall carbon footprint, explains Dr Nehrenheim.
