China's burgeoning electric vehicle market is fueling significant growth in battery recycling, contributing to greener industrial practices. Companies like Battery Science & Technology are transforming old EV batteries into new materials, significantly reducing carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy.

• Battery Science & Technology processes 10,000 metric tons of waste batteries annually, extracting over 95 percent of lithium elements.
• President Fu Qiang highlighted that recovering lithium carbonate from spent batteries cuts carbon emissions per unit by 30 percent compared to other production methods.
• China anticipates achieving self-sufficiency in lithium by 2040 through waste battery recycling, with an expected peak in battery retirement around 2026.
