Sustainable manufacturing practices for EV battery packs: Lowering the environmental impacts and increasing recyclability

Abstract

Rapid adoption of electric cars has enhanced that for clean batteries to reduce environmental impact and increase recyclability. Present-day approaches to creating EV battery packs are performed often with the help of restricted and hazardous materials and energy-demanding methods, having a rather limited amount of recycling possibilities, therefore leaving a rather considerable impact on the environment. These drawbacks also point to the need to use more creative means towards the reduction of energy consumption or to useful wastage and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper also prescribes a full life cycle model of suing sustainable practices while obtaining, manufacturing, using and recycling EV battery packs with advanced secondary life packages. The succinct technique comprises three approaches: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model for the evaluation of the environmental burden, fee-advantage evaluation to perform the initial cost assessment, and optimization models to define the optimal rates of sustainable practice. Using an equal-method methodology, the literature overview, case examine, and professional interviews are used to gather the information while the information pre-processing, the improvement and validation of the mathematical model are accomplished the usage of actual-world eventualities. The results signify significant changes towards achieving lower energy usage, material toxicity and carbon elements as enhancement of recyclability features and economical returns. Policies, producers and interested parties should engage in these practices as the study suggests what needs to be done toward enhancing the sustainability of the EV battery business. The paper adds to the sector by providing a fresh and organised perspective, which does not have the confined view of prior approaches and has quantifiable solutions for efficient EV battery production.
