Batteries that maintain sustainability throughout the lifecycle are key to contributing to zero pollution in the environment. These batteries help promote sustainability in a competitive way and are also necessary for clean energy, green transport and ultimately achieving climate neutrality. Batteries that are sustainable, safe throughout the battery life and high-performing are the ones that produce the least possible environmental impact, using materials that are with respect to human rights and meet the ecological and social standards. Batteries must be safe, long-lasting and by the end of their life must be recycled, remanufactured, repurposed, ultimately feeding material that is valuable to the economy.
Promoting competitive sustainability
The requirements for batteries to be used in electric vehicles, automotive and industrial purposes indicate the responsible use of the sourced material with the restricted usage of substances that are potentially hazardous and instead use recycled materials with a lower carbon footprint, higher performance and durability. While at the same time successfully meeting the recycling targets that are vital to developing highly competitive and sustainable battery industries. Legal certainties help make large scale production of sustainable batteries possible and furthermore boost the capacity of sustainable battery production to appropriately and effectively respond to the ever-evolving market.
High-performance batteries for a sustainable environment
High-performance batteries will make a significant contribution to road transport electrification, which significantly contributes to reduced carbon emissions, increased use of E-vehicles over other forms of transport which ultimately facilitates a higher usage of renewable resources for energy production. Additionally, the aim must be to make efficient use of these resources for a minimalistic impact on the environment. In order to maintain the use of renewable resources along with the use of valuable material for batteries. For this, it is important to establish novel targets and requirements to develop sustainable batteries, followed by effective recycling and treatment of the batteries.
Conclusion
In order to improve the recycling process of the portable type of batteries, it is important to work towards a rise in the collection rate in the upcoming decades so that the batteries used at home and the material they are made with are not lost to the environment. The batteries then have to be effectively recycled and high recovery levels have to be achieved, especially for materials like lead, nickel, lithium, and cobalt. At C6 Energy, the batteries are high-performance, high-efficiency, and are sustainable with a green carbon footprint, contributing to a sustainable environment.
