Battery Recycling Market Research Study

We were commissioned by RENEW to carry out a market research study into battery recycling in the North East.

RENEW aim to facilitate the delivery of commercial energy and environmental technology projects across the North East region of England.

Project actions Project benefits

In order to investigate the potential for introducing a battery recycling plant to the North East, we:

identified the quantity of battery arisings and recycling
identified battery supply chains
reviewed legislation and market trends
developed future battery arising scenarios / recycling scenarios
analysed the financial benefits of establishing a facility in the North East

Mapped the current arisings and supply chain for waste batteries in the North East & UK
Identified when enough batteries could be sourced to supply a facility in the North East
Proved that a battery recycling facility in the North East could be viable once an increase in batteries start to come through the waste stream

This work will provide us with a useful platform upon which we can build future research and recycling capacity in the region. Working with Valpak provided the project with extensive insight, contacts and internal data regarding battery recycling which added value to the project.
