Battery recycling will play a crucial role in helping the automotive industry shift from internal combustion to electric vehicles. In addition to the environmental benefits of reducing waste, EV battery recycling also has the potential to decrease exposure to unreliable supply chains.

Investors are already recognizing the opportunity, and the market for EV battery recycling is expected to grow from $2 billion in 2021 to $27.3 billion in 2030, representing a CAGR of 33.8%.

Our latest analyst note includes a deep dive into battery recycling methods, notable VC deals and how the industry is likely to become more profitable over time.
