1 SAE BATTERY RECYCLING COMMITTEE: BATTERY RECYCLING APPROACHES FOR THE 21 ST CENTURY Colin Pelletier, Timothy Ellis RSR Technologies Dallas, TX

2 Battery Recycling Committee: What is the Mission Mission: To coordinate and integrate battery recycling issues into the overall strategy of electrification and hybridization of the transportation economy Battery Recycling Committee is a subset of SAE s Battery Standards Steering Committee Bob Gaylen is the chairman Chemistry neutral, i.e. all chemistries are considered Interests in electrochemical cells, batteries & capacitors, integrated systems Group has members from auto companies, battery makers, material suppliers & recyclers Bringing together a very diverse group

3 Battery Recycling Committee: Collaborators Coordination with other battery industry groups USABC USCAR Vehicle Recycling Partnership ABR BCI ILA PRBA/RECHARGE IEC EUROBAT SAE Transportation Committee Information gathering across other interested organization Geographically organized, Asia, EU, North America Governmental Agencies (EPA Battery Recycling Lifecycle Project) NGO s Contacts: Patricia Ebejer [pebejer@sae.org] or Tim Ellis [Tellis@RSRCorp.com]

4 Battery Recycling Committee: J-Documents J2984_ Identification of Transportation Battery Systems for Recycling Recommended Practice J2974_ Technical Information Report on Automotive Battery Recycling Currently under revision J3071_ Automotive Battery Recycling Identification and Cross- Contamination Prevention Recommended Practice

5 J2984 Identification of Transportation Battery Systems for Recycling Recommended Practice Mixed recycling stream issues, same format different chemistry Identify cathode/anode material Identifying miscellaneous hazards of concern to recyclers Label Identification System System Li-Ion, Pb-Acid, NiMH, NiCd Cathode - Fe, Co, Mn, S, Ni, Al, MM Anode - C, Si, Ti, Sn, Li, X Miscellaneous Properties MFG ID (Optional) Manufacture date

6 J2984 Example Label Color Recommendations Lead-Acid (Pb) PMS877 Silver Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) PMS312 Blue Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) PMS367 Green Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) PMS151 Orange

7 J2974 TIR on Automotive Battery Recycling End of Life Primer Language and Definitions Design for Disassembly and Discharge Safe discharge procedures Generalized disassemble method Compilation of Recycling Methodologies Collection and Sorting of Feed Stock Compilation of regulatory issues Transportation of spent modules/cells Packaging of spent modules/cells

8 J3071 Automotive Battery Recycling Identification and Cross- Contamination Prevention Technical Information Report Document began in response to letter from ABR and results from the 2014 ILA Li Ion survey 26 out of 27 companies reported issues arising from entry of lithium Ion batteries into lead acid battery recycling facilities Provide information to help prevent mixed recycling stream issues, same format different chemistry in all recycling streams Compilation of applicable labelling regulation Raise awareness of potential marking, identification, and sorting technologies

9 Future State: There is a Great Deal to do in Closing the Lifecycle Engage auto companies earlier rather than later Proactive vs Reactive recycling development SAE Battery Recycling Taskforce: USCAR, ABR, BCI, ILA, EUROBAT etc Module de-manufacturing industry and cell sorting Is there an afterlife before End of Life? Interfacing is between Second Use and potential Safety / compatibility Development of collection sites for post consumer cells The first mile & tonnage development New sorting technologies
