China to Regulate EV Battery Recycling Amid Safety and Environmental Concerns

China is implementing new regulations to formalize electric vehicle battery recycling, aiming to curb informal operations that handle 70% of retired batteries and pose safety and environmental risks.

Chinese authorities are moving to regulate the electric vehicle battery recycling market, as informal operations have captured roughly 70% of retired battery volumes, creating significant safety and environmental concerns. The new rules would require end-of-life batteries to remain with vehicles through authorized recycling channels, rather than entering unregulated networks where small operators disassemble and resell components.
Industry experts say the regulations could transform lithium iron phosphate battery recycling from marginal operations into key battery material infrastructure. As more jurisdictions enact EV battery recycling regulations, industry players like Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO) may have to adapt to the changing landscape.
