Articles on EV and hybrid dismantling, battery reuse and recycling, and the regulations and technologies shaping the future of electric vehicle parts and materials.
Volvo Cars’ 2025 sustainability report shows how circularity is becoming central to vehicle design, sourcing and aftersales. For recyclers, the key signals are rising recycled content, growing remanufacturing volumes and stronger focus on battery refurbishment and material recovery.

Ahead of IARC 2026, TSR’s Christian Blackert sets out how industrial-scale ELV recycling can secure Europe’s supply of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. He argues that investment in high-quality recycled grades, closer OEM collaboration and stable EU regulation are key to delivering resilient, closed-loop automotive value chains.

Cyclic Materials is investing more than $82m to build a rare earth magnet recycling campus in South Carolina, targeting 600 tonnes/year of mixed rare earth oxides at start-up and scaling to 1,800 tonnes from 2028.
BMW Group and Encory have commissioned the Cell Recycling Competence Center (CRCC) in Salching, Germany, to scale direct recycling of battery cell production scrap. The process mechanically dismantles cells and returns recovered materials directly to BMW’s pilot cell production loop.

Toyota Tsusho is building an end-to-end EV-battery recycling model, anchored in scaled collection after acquiring Radius Recycling. The group aims to recover high-purity metals for battery manufacturers while positioning recycling as a stable-profit business as EV volumes and high-voltage dismantling needs grow.

Traditional cycling tests can take six hours per pack, creating major cost, power and safety constraints for EV battery remanufacturing. ReJoule argues rapid diagnostics, such as EIS, can assess the state of health in minutes, improving triage, repair workflows and second-life or recycling decisions.
