[...] 14 Objectives The objective of this assignment is the conduction of an analytical assessment of global and regional practices for the reuse and recycling of LIB, with a specific focus on the Latin America and Caribbean region. [...] Chapter 1 of the report provides background information on the concepts of circular economy, lithium-ion batteries and an overview of good practices for the end-of-life management of LIB; Chapter 2 provides an overview of the methodological approach followed through the study; Chapter 3 analyzes the global state-of-the-art technologies and practices for environmentally sound and safe management of. [...] Chapter 6 presents the regional outlook for LIB in the region, including the estimation of the battery volumes reaching their end-of-life in the period 2024-2050, along with estimations of the LIB volumes available for recycling and reuse in different scenarios, this section also presents estimations for the investment requirements to set up the required recycling and reuse infrastructure in each.
