Recycle or reuse?

As with many other products, batteries at the end of life also raise the question of how to handle them further. So far, recycling has been considered the best solution. In the study "Recycling or Second Use? Supply Potentials and Climate Effects of End-of-Life Electric Vehicle Batteries" concluded that continued use is the better option, at least from an environmental point of view. But that doesn't mean that recycling doesn't play a role. The study was published in "Environmental Science & Technology".
