Global EV battery deployment reached 1.2 TWh in 2025, more than seven times the level of 2020. That figure, from the IEA’s Global EV Outlook 2026, describes batteries entering service. It also describes, with a delay of several years, the volume of material that will reach end of life and need compliant treatment. Every battery … Read more
Cellcycle, part of the SER Group, has formally filed a patent for its proprietary direct recycling process, reinforcing the Group’s position at the forefront of battery recycling innovation. Developed through the SER Group’s Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Coventry University, alongside ongoing internal research and development, the process enables the efficient recovery of cathode and anode active materials from … Read more
The UK’s Net Zero ambitions have accelerated the deployment of lithium-ion batteries across energy storage systems, electric vehicle fleets and critical utility infrastructure. From grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems to commercial EV operations, lithium-ion technology now underpins much of the country’s decarbonisation strategy. However, while installation capacity continues to grow, far less attention is given to end-of-life … Read more
Lithium batteries are now central to energy storage systems, electric vehicles, utilities infrastructure and industrial operations. As adoption accelerates across the UK, the importance of compliant lithium battery recycling and structured lithium battery disposal processes continues to grow. While these assets are designed for durability, faults can occur during daily operation. Abnormal temperature readings, swelling, … Read more
Lithium battery disposal has become a growing challenge across the UK healthcare sector. As medical devices increasingly rely on lithium-powered technology, hospitals and clinics are under pressure to ensure lithium battery waste is managed safely, legally and sustainably. Recently, Cellcycle completed its first operational collection of lithium primary batteries from Ideal Medical Solutions, marking a major milestone for … Read more
As the world accelerates toward electrification, lithium batteries have become essential to modern life, from e-scooters and mobility scooters to electric cars and industrial energy storage. But with rapid adoption comes an equally urgent challenge: how do we safely and sustainably manage lithium batteries at end of life? We have spent years building the expertise, … Read more
It’s been another busy and exciting few months for Lithium Battery Recycling Solutions (LBRS), part of SUEZ and proudly operated by Cawleys, as we continue to lead the charge in lithium battery recycling. From major industry expos to thought-leadership events, our team has been out on the road, connecting with automotive manufacturers, recyclers, and technology … Read more
Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of modern energy storage, powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. However, like all electrochemical systems, they degrade over time. Understanding how and why this happens is vital not only for extending battery life but also for improving lithium battery recycling efficiency and ensuring safe lithium battery disposal at … Read more
As the aviation sector accelerates toward a new era of electrification, a quiet revolution is taking place in the skies. From light aircraft to eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) vehicles, next-generation electric aviation is no longer a distant vision; it is fast becoming a commercial reality. But as the pace of innovation intensifies, one … Read more
