The world is at the cusp of a massive transformation in energy storage and mobility. From electric scooters and motorcycles to high-performance EVs, school buses, freight trucks, and even aircraft, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are enabling the global shift toward electrification. However, as the demand for these batteries skyrockets, so does the need for sustainable solutions to manage their lifecycle. At LOHUM , we are driving innovation in lithium-ion battery second-life applications and EPR for Li-ion battery waste management to create a closed-loop ecosystem for sustainable battery materials. With global electric vehicle (EV) sales soaring past 10 million units in 2022 and expected to exceed 50 million annually by 2030, it is imperative to establish robust recycling and reuse systems. Analysts predict that battery retirements will exceed 2 million metric tonnes per year by 2030 , creating both a challenge and an opportunity. The End-of-Life Challenge & The Need for Second...

The electrification of mobility and energy storage is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. From electric scooters and motorcycles to passenger cars, trucks, buses, and even aircraft, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the backbone of this transformation. However, with the surging demand for batteries comes an urgent challenge—managing their end-of-life sustainably. By 2030, analysts predict that over 2 million metric tonnes of lithium batteries will be retired annually. Without effective recycling and reusing strategies, this can lead to increased environmental burdens, resource depletion, and higher costs for manufacturers. This is where LOHUM is making a difference—leading the way in lithium battery reusing and recycling to create a circular economy for energy storage solutions. The Growing Need for Battery Recycling The global battery market is expected to grow tenfold over the next decade , placing immense pressure on mining operations to extract key minerals lik...
