Battery Manufacturing and Recycling Industry

 

THE FUTURE IS ELECTRIC…VEHICLES

 

The battery manufacturing and recycling industry produces various types of batteries ranging from single-cell alkaline batteries to multicell lithium-ion battery packs custom-built for electric vehicle propulsion. In particular, demand for electric and hybrid vehicles and consumer electronics represent the key drivers of demand for the battery manufacturing industry’s products. However, increased demand for electric vehicles (EV) has been the leading area of focus and growth.

The recycling of lithium-ion batteries is becoming an increasingly important activity for ensuring sustainability.  Battery recycling is reusing and reprocessing batteries to reduce the number of batteries being disposed of as waste. The main types of batteries that are recycled include lead-acid batteries, nickel-based batteries, lithium-based batteries, and other battery types. CECO Environmental commonly addresses the challenges of the battery manufacturing and recycling industry with clean, safe, and efficient products and solutions within our CECO family of brands shown below.
