But as the first wave of such vehicles need new batteries, the country still lacks an adequate collection and recycling system to dispose of the old ones,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjckb.cn\/2017-09\/26\/c_136638281.htm\">reported<\/a>\u00a0the <em>Economic Information Daily<\/em>, a newspaper under state news agency <em>Xinhua<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Gaogong Industry Research, a think tank based in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, estimates that a total of 248,000 tonnes of automotive batteries will be discarded in 2020, about 20 times the amount thrown away in 2016. If batteries are not properly recycled, the heavy metals and other chemicals they contain pose a risk to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present, there are at most five big companies engaged in [car battery recycling] across the country,\u201d Gao Xiaobing, deputy dean of Gaogong\u2019s Institute of Lithium Battery Research, told <em>Sixth Tone<\/em>. \u201cTheir joint capabilities were sufficient to process the 12,000 tonnes of used automotive batteries last year, but are far from enough to deal with the surge in years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox pull-right\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p><!--End mc_embed_signup--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Helped by generous subsidies and other preferential policies such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixthtone.com\/news\/1000807\/beijing-business-sues-tesla%2C-alleging-sales-fraud\">free license plates<\/a>\u00a0in Shanghai, more and more Chinese consumers have embraced electric cars in the past few years. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, only slightly more than 8,000 new energy cars were sold across the country in 2011, but this figure soared to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.miit.gov.cn\/newweb\/n1146312\/n1146904\/n1648362\/n1648363\/c5466622\/content.html\">more than half a million<\/a>\u00a0last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese market for automotive batteries has expanded alongside this growth in car sales, reaching a value of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.askci.com\/news\/chanye\/20170921\/102509108198.shtml\">64.5 billion yuan<\/a>\u00a0(US$9.7 billion) in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 70%. The car battery market is now larger than that of traditional lithium batteries used in digital devices.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, most automotive batteries can be used for eight years, but in practice they have an average shelf life of five years, according to Li Changdong, president of Hunan Bangpu Recycling Technology Company. \u201cFor the first group of domestic electric vehicles assembled between 2012 and 2014, their batteries will expire around 2018,\u201d he told the <em>Economic Information Daily<\/em>. \u201cIn the next three to four years, there will be a sharp rise in the number of used automotive batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2009 and 2011, improper handling of lead-acid batteries used in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixthtone.com\/news\/787\/chinas-relationship-with-e-bikes-its-complicated\">e-bikes<\/a>\u00a0resulted in environmental pollution and threats to human health. In December 2010,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.sohu.com\/20110106\/n278697029.shtml\">more than 100 children<\/a>\u00a0in Huaining County, in eastern China\u2019s Anhui province, were diagnosed with lead poisoning. A local battery factory was later identified as the culprit. Similar cases were also reported in Yunnan, Hubei, and Henan provinces the same year.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.sina.com.cn\/roll\/20110516\/23419850055.shtml\">a 2011 report<\/a>\u00a0by the China Battery Industry Association, more than 80% of discarded lead-acid batteries were collected by self-employed people. \u201cMost of these batteries were eventually processed by unlicensed small factories that failed to meet environmental standards,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Although the lithium batteries used in cars are much safer than lead-acid versions, Gao, of Gaogong Industry Research, said that they can still cause pollution if not disposed of properly. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s important that bigger, more experienced companies help guide smaller and newer ones,\u201d he said. \u201cBut sadly, they\u2019re not very motivated at this point \u2013 it would take a lot of effort to offer such guidance and at present automotive battery collection is not profitable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndrc.gov.cn\/zcfb\/zcfbgg\/201601\/t20160128_773250.html\">issued guidelines<\/a>\u00a0on collecting and recycling automotive batteries. Earlier this year, the Standardisation Administration of China also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-nengyuan.com\/tech\/110809.html\">issued national standards<\/a>\u00a0on the technology used to disassemble and recycle them.<\/p>\n<p>At present, however, these documents are not legally binding, meaning that businesses can simply ignore them, the <em>Economic Information Daily<\/em> report said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gao, though, there is cause for optimism in the fact that properly recycling batteries could bring huge profits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur country has heavily relied on imported cobalt which is a necessary raw material for battery production,\u201d Gao explained. \u201cIf cobalt can be properly recycled from used automotive batteries, the new energy car industry can become environmentally sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was first published in <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixthtone.com\/news\/1000922\/Batteries%20From%20Green%20Cars%20Could%20Swamp%20China%E2%80%99s%20Recycling%20Industry\"><em>Sixth Tone<\/em><\/a><em>.
