SUMMARY:The good\, the bad and the ugly of battery recycling
DESCRIPTION:The good\, the bad and the ugly of battery recycling\nThe Imper
 ial Network of Excellence in Sustainability through Life Cycle Approaches
  will host Dr Jacqueline Edge and Dr Evangelos Kallitsis\, who will deliv
 er a talk on battery recycling in LCA. \nAbstract:\nAs the battery indust
 ry scales up to meet Net Zero targets\, a mountain of dead batteries looms
 \, representing not only a waste of valuable resources\, but also signific
 ant risks to human and environmental health. Battery materials\, through p
 roduction scrap and end-of-life batteries\, are already being recovered th
 rough a range of methods\, but there are concerns about the additional bur
 dens that the current methods impose\, through waste gases and contaminate
 d water. The ReLiB project\, funding by the Faraday Institution\, is devel
 oping low impact methods for recovering greater proportions of the materia
 ls within batteries. The processes developed have been tracked using life 
 cycle assessment and technoeconomic analysis. In this talk\, we will outli
 ne the different methods for recycling batteries and compare their relativ
 e merits\, with a particular focus on the often overlooked issue of toxici
 ty from battery components and process chemicals.\nBio:\nJacqueline Edge c
 ompleted her Ph.D. in Hydrogen Storage at University College London in 201
 4 and then joined the Energy Futures Lab at Imperial College London\, mana
 ging the Energy Storage Research Network. She is now an Associate Professo
 r in Life Cycle Assessment at the University of Birmingham in the UK. She 
 has a multidisciplinary background\, spanning biology\, computer science\,
  nanotechnology and physics\, making her ideally placed to assess and miti
 gate the ecosystem impacts of the growing battery industry. She is part of
  two Faraday Institution projects: Multiscale Modelling and ReLiB\, coveri
 ng battery degradation and recycling.\nEvangelos Kallitsis is a Faraday In
 stitution Industry Fellow at Imperial College London\, working on life cyc
 le assessment and modelling of batteries\, electric vehicles and circular 
 economy systems. As part of the Faraday Institution’s ReLiB project\, he
  developed models to analyse the environmental impact of direct recycling 
 processes for lithium-ion batteries and position them within a sustainable
  battery value chain. He holds an MSc in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in
  Earth Science & Engineering from Imperial College London.\nInformation fo
 r attendance\nRegistration is required. Register your interest in attendin
 g this seminar. The seminar will be hosted on Microsoft Teams and the link
  will be emailed to all registered attendees. Register here.
