2. Background

Internal-combustion vehicles emit large amounts of exhaust and fine particulates, threatening both the environment and human health.
To address this, nations worldwide are transitioning to eco-friendly mobility and investing in electric vehicle technologies that produce zero emissions.
At the heart of this transition lies the battery industry, which accounts for roughly 40% of EV manufacturing costs.
As the global EV market expands, so does the demand for advanced lithium-ion batteries and sustainable recycling solutions for end-of-life batteries.
