The Central Committee of the China Democratic Construction Association proposes to speed up the recycling of power batteries for new energy vehicles.

Published: May 19, 2020 15:15
The proposal says that the recycling rate of power batteries for new energy vehicles in China is too low. In 2018, the recycling of power batteries in China accounted for only 7.4 percent of the total scrapped, which not only endangers the ecological environment and human health, but also causes a waste of resources. It is hoped that adjustments will be made in the top-level design of power battery recycling, recycling management system, research and development of recycling technology, commercial development of recycling and so on.

SMM5, March 19: due to the impact of the epidemic, the two sessions have been postponed to late May. As the time for the two sessions is getting closer and closer, representatives from all walks of life have submitted their own proposals, among which the Central Committee of the China Democratic Construction Association has put forward a proposal on speeding up the recycling of batteries powered by new energy vehicles.

The proposal says that the recycling rate of power batteries for new energy vehicles in China is too low. In 2018, the recycling of power batteries in China accounted for only 7.4 percent of the total scrapped, which not only endangers the ecological environment and human health, but also causes a waste of resources. It is hoped that adjustments will be made in the top-level design of power battery recycling, recycling management system, research and development of recycling technology, commercial development of recycling and so on.

Strengthen the top-level design in the laws and regulations and standard formulation of power battery cascade recycling, and actively guide relevant enterprises in the industry to participate in the formulation of standards. Make full use of information means to build a large-scale, efficient and traceable waste power battery recycling management system. Implement the extended producer responsibility system. Recycling in accordance with the principle of limited cascade utilization. The automatic disassembly technology of power battery is developed to improve the physical recovery of metal. Battery material recovery technology, greatly improve the recovery rate of nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite, etc., and carry out lithium-ion battery cycle technology research. Formulate incentive implementation rules for the recycling of power batteries. Carry out the benefit evaluation of power battery recycling. Actively explore the cascade utilization scene and potential market of power battery. Expand the recycling channels of power batteries.

Silicon Metal Market Review for January and Outlook for February
In January, the silicon metal market experienced a relatively loose supply-demand balance, with a theoretical inventory buildup of approximately 30,000 mt. In February, both supply and demand contracted simultaneously, and the market is expected to show a tight balance or minor destocking. The current high industry inventory still requires time to be digested, and the sustainability of destocking remains a key variable affecting price trends and market sentiment.

A plant in northern China is calling for bids for indium ingots and bismuth ingots
SMM, February 6 - According to SMM’s investigation of market information, a large smelter in northern China began public bidding for a certain quantity of indium ingots and bismuth ingots starting yesterday. Market sources indicate that the starting price for these indium ingots exceeds 4,000 yuan per kilogram, while the starting price for bismuth ingots is above 150,000 yuan per ton. The bidding results are expected to be announced before the Spring Festival. Market participants note that, given the clear trend of sluggish trading activity ahead of the Spring Festival, the timing of this bidding is not ideal. However, the relatively favorable starting prices have generated considerable market anticipation for the outcome of the bidding.
