The report aims to build a foundation for effective measures and supportive environments to optimise the sustainability impact of the battery recycling process and facilitate better partnerships between industry, the public sector and civil society. [...] About Systemiq Systemiq was founded in 2016 to drive the achievement of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals by transforming markets and business models in five key systems: nature and food, materials and circularity, energy, urban areas and sustainable finance. [...] Sustainable battery recycling operations are a crucial step, but they are only one of the elements required to improve the overall sustainability performance of mobility systems Recycling is just one component of the broader battery ecosystem, and decisions made beyond the control of battery recyclers will have significant implications both for them and for the overall sustainability impact of bat. [...] • The extension of battery life through second-life energy storage applications (once battery performance is no longer suitable for EV use) has the potential to reduce the overall environmental impact of the battery system and can contribute low-cost energy storage options to enable the wider decarbonisation of energy systems. [...] Ongoing innovation in battery cathode chemistries and recycling technologies is influencing both the economic and technical feasibility and the sustainability impact of recycling processes, and should be continuously monitored.
