summary:

In the inventory, enterprises that have clearly laid out the layout of the power lithium battery recycling business and have relevant technical and qualification certificates have certain first-mover advantages. From a theoretical point of view, China's power lithium battery recycling has formed a complete closed-loop industrial chain. However, in practice, the operating mode of the domestic automotive power lithium battery recycling industry is still in the groping stage. It is necessary for the industry to establish an industrial alliance with the upstream and downstream to establish a healthy industrial chain and find a viable profit point.

With the expansion of the industry scale, the gradual improvement of industry standards and laws and regulations, in the near future, recycling channels and recycling costs are likely to become the core of some industry competition.

In the future, the largest source of battery raw materials will no longer be mines, but battery recycling companies. All OEMs and battery plants must work with or integrate with recycling companies. The layout of the power lithium battery recycling business has officially kicked off, and companies with relevant technologies and qualifications will soon develop rapidly. Newly entered quality companies will also receive strong support from policies and capital.
