Interpretation of scrap battery energy storage policy

Do power batteries recycling policies have a practical effect?

The practical effect of power battery recycling (PBR) largely depends on consistency or conformity within and among central-local policies (Steward et al., 2019). Therefore, it is crucial to conduct policy consistency evaluation of power batteries recycling policies (PBRPs) scientifically to find out the in-depth problems.

What is a waste battery management and recycling policy?

Core policy elements of a waste battery management and recycling. Standardization is a key component of the policy's scope and definition. Another critical aspect is addressing the environmental and human health impacts of improper waste battery disposal, which arise from the hazardous materials used in batteries.

Are China's battery recycling policies consistent?

We evaluate the China's central and local power batteries recycling policies. The PMC-Index model is used to quantitative analysis of policy consistency. The longitudinal and horizontal consistency of battery recycling policies is good. Carbon footprint requirements should be added in China's battery recycling polices.

How do you evaluate a power battery recycling policy?

Determine whether the policy highlights the traceability of power battery recycling and utilization. Determine whether the policy highlights the concentrated recycling of power batteries. Determine whether the policy advocates constructing the cross-regional transfer system and is compliant with transshipment management.

Do reward-penalty mechanisms and policies affect recycling power batteries?

Although China has introduced a number of policies based on the EPR principle, the specific mechanisms and policy for recycling spent power batteries have not been established. The purpose of this study is to propose reward-penalty mechanisms and policies, and test their impacts on recycling power batteries by using a developed game analysis model.

Can recycling and waste management contribute to battery supply chain?

According to Yodying et al. (2023) recycling and waste management initiatives should be supported to contribute battery supply chain. Successful models such as German Battery Act and Australia’s Battery Stewardship scheme were suggested by the studies which can be applied managing informal sector battery waste management and recycling.
