Current and Prospective Lithium Ion Battery Recycling for Bangladesh and Its Environmental Impacts

In our highly advanced world, Lithium-ion batteries play an important role, which will try to push technological advancement. Applications for LIBs have expanded quickly, and their market share has been steadily growing as well. Nowadays, the uses of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) in portable electronic devices is increasing, so that many LIBs are finding their way into the waste material. There were a lot of LIB wastes produced in Bangladesh, but there is little information on their collection or recycling. Researchers predicted that it could be increase to between 100,000 and 188,000 tonnes in 2036. Most of the LIB wastes in Bangladesh is dumped in landfills; this wastes will have create detrimental effects on the environment as well as public health. Cobalt, lithium, base and other metals, and graphite are among the considerable precious resources found in LIB waste that might be recovered locally and utilized in new products. However, still a gap in knowledge which recycling procedure, have the least negative effects on the environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the various techniques currently utilized for recycling lithium-ion batteries, as well as how many lithium-ion batteries can be recycled in Bangladesh, with an emphasis on the effects on the environment.
