CCTV News: On February 21, the State Council Executive Meeting reviewed and passed the "Action Plan for Improving the Recycling and Utilization System of Power Battery in New Energy Vehicles". The meeting pointed out that China's new energy vehicle power batteries have entered the stage of large-scale decommissioning, and it is particularly important to comprehensively improve the recycling and utilization capacity of power batteries. The meeting put forward clear requirements for the recycling and utilization of power batteries for new energy vehicles in terms of strengthening top-level design and strengthening standard development.

The number of new energy vehicles in my country has reached 31.4 million

As of the end of last year, the number of new energy vehicles in my country has reached 31.4 million, and the number of power batteries installed has been leading the world for many years. As the retirement volume of power batteries increases year by year, its recycling has attracted much attention.

The market size of the power battery recycling market will exceed 100 billion by 2030

There is a report predicting that by 2030, the market size of the power battery recycling market will exceed 100 billion yuan. Strengthening the recycling and utilization of power batteries for new energy vehicles is of great significance to supporting the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, ensuring national resource security, and reducing environmental pollution and safety hazards.

The State Council Executive Meeting proposed that it is necessary to strengthen the management of the entire chain, focus on opening up bottlenecks and card points, build a standardized, safe and efficient recycling and utilization system, and use digital technology to strengthen the flow monitoring of the entire life cycle of power batteries, so as to achieve traceability of production, sales, dismantling and utilization.

The meeting required that the rule of law should be used to standardize recycling and utilization, formulate and improve relevant administrative regulations, and strengthen supervision and management. We must speed up the formulation and revision of relevant standards such as green design of power batteries, product carbon footprint accounting, etc., and use standards to lead and drive recycling.

Improve the comprehensive utilization system and promote safe and efficient circulation

In order to adapt to the industry development trend of improving technical level and improving technical indicators, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has previously issued industry standards for the comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries of new energy vehicles to guide enterprises to invest and develop in an orderly manner. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it will focus on emerging solid waste such as waste power batteries, accelerate the improvement of laws and regulations, improve recycling and comprehensive utilization systems, and promote safe and efficient recycling. In addition, we will select and cultivate a group of benchmark enterprises with high levels and significant industry driving roles, and at the same time strengthen dynamic supervision to help the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.
