On July 25, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of science and technology and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the notice on doing a good job in the pilot work of recycling new energy vehicle power batteries. After research, it was determined that Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, Shanxi Province, Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Sichuan Province, Gansu Province Qinghai Province, Ningbo, Xiamen and China iron tower Co., Ltd. are pilot areas and enterprises.

Power battery recycling is urgent. By the end of June this year, the number of domestic new energy vehicles had reached 1.99 million. According to the comprehensive calculation of industry experts from the aspects of enterprise warranty period, battery cycle life and vehicle service conditions, the power battery of new energy vehicles will enter the large-scale retirement period in 2018. It is expected that the cumulative amount will exceed 400000 tons by 2022, and the compound annual growth rate of power battery retirement will exceed 70%. It is expected that the lithium battery recycling market will show a rapid growth trend in the next three years. By 2020, the market scale is expected to exceed 15.6 billion yuan, with an annual compound growth rate of 41%.

The notice made it clear that the pilot areas and enterprises will comprehensively promote the construction of recycling system. Promote automobile production enterprises to implement the extended producer responsibility system, establish recycling service outlets, give full play to the advantages of existing after-sales service channels, and cooperate with battery production, scrap vehicle recycling, disassembly and comprehensive utilization enterprises to build a regional recycling system. Do a good job in the disclosure of information related to the recycling of power batteries, and take measures such as repurchase and trade in to promote the recycling of power batteries.
