Green Transformation of Battery Materials: UL2809 Validation Leads to New Standards

SRF 2024-09-10 22:13

In today's increasingly popular new energy, the importance of batteries as the "heart" of new energy is self-evident. However, environmental issues arising from the production and recycling of batteries are also of concern. In this context, the green and environmental protection of battery materials has become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry. The content verification of UL2809 recycled materials is an important part of this green revolution.

UL2809: the authoritative standard for the verification of recycled material content

domestic enterprises to seize the international new energy market

driven by the new EU battery regulations, more and more battery manufacturers are beginning to pay attention to the environmental performance of battery raw materials.

As a globally recognized environmental standard, UL2809 strictly controls the content of recycled materials in products. UL2809 recycled material content verification aims to extend the service life of materials, reduce the consumption of natural resources, thereby providing considerable environmental benefits and encouraging the recycling of materials; UL2809 certified battery materials not only meet the environmental protection requirements of the international market, but also Win a good reputation and market share for the company.

Starting from 2028, for EV batteries, SLI batteries, industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2kWh (except for those with external energy storage only), and LMT batteries starting from 2033, the regulations require that each year, each type of battery, and each factory The attached technical documentation should contain the percentage share of cobalt, lithium, and nickel recovered from battery manufacturing waste or post-consumer waste in active materials, and the percentage share of lead that the battery contains recovered from scrap.

Domestic enterprises to seize the international new energy market

driven by the global goal of carbon neutrality, renewable energy has become the focus of global attention. Overseas markets are increasingly in demand for battery materials that have been verified by UL2809 recycled material content. Domestic enterprises with cutting-edge technology and strong supply chain strength, emerging in this green wave.

More and more domestic battery manufacturers began to use UL2809 certified post-consumer recycled cobalt, lithium, nickel and other materials to meet the environmental requirements of the international market.

At the same time, domestic battery manufacturers are also actively exploring new green technologies to promote product upgrades. For example, in order to further improve the energy density and safety of batteries, some companies have begun to develop solid-state batteries using new environmentally friendly materials.

With the introduction of the new EU battery regulations and the popularity of UL2809 recycled material content verification, the green and environmental protection of the battery industry has become an irreversible trend.
