However, this growth has led to a rapid rise in EV-LIB scrap, from both retired batteries and manufacturing processes, a factor insufficiently addressed in prior research. Our study tackles this issue by assessing the harmonisation of industry projects and examining the recycling facilities' readiness to handle these dual waste streams. We methodically estimate the registrations of new EVs and their anticipated scrap volume, and then project future LIB manufacturing scrap in the EU. Therefore, we assess current and future recycling capacities and evaluate the balance between scrap influx and recycling readiness by 2030. Our findings indicate that the EU is facing a significant recycling challenge. By 2030, about 930 kilotonnes of scrap from the EV-LIB industry will need recycling under the baseline scenario. Although current capacities can handle today's scrap volumes, the disparity between rapidly expanding manufacturing and lagging recycling facilities will result in a shortfall in a few years. Current plans suggest EU recycling facilities will have a capacity of about 785 kilotonnes annually by 2030, which falls short of the dual scrap streams. This research underscores the need for a strategic approach to scale up recycling infrastructure and technology, to emphasise the importance of responsible manufacturing, and to align with the EU's sustainability goals and the growing demands of the EV industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143957088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The triple blend comprises fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and Alccofine, serving as partial replacements for cement of 60% to improve overall concrete performance when combined with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Concrete samples were then manufactured with varying RCA percentages, ranging from 25 to 100%. The study investigated the strength properties of the mix, including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, bond strength, and overall concrete quality through non-destructive testing. Additionally, these samples underwent microstructural studies and phase assemblage analyses, including scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy tests. These analyses were conducted to determine the pore structure and mineralogical composition of the RAC. The results indicate that an increase in RCA content in the concrete mix tends to reduce compressive strength, primarily due to weaker bonding with the cement paste. However, this drawback can be partially mitigated by incorporating mineral admixtures in a modified triple mix blend. This modification leads to improved hydration, enhanced bonding, favourable morphology, and a refined pore structure. This study reveals that SRAC exhibits superior strength compared to Raw RAC, with considerable increase at 28 days and maintaining comparable strengths to CC at 28 days.

This study looks at using high-elevation pine needles as a sustainable geotextile to improve construction and management.

The geotextiles are made using the natural fibers intrinsic qualities and are made from hand-picked pine needles that are chosen according to temperature, soil type, and altitude. Durability is increased by the moisture and UV resistance provided by the natural pine resin. In the production process, the pine needles are braided into geotextiles that adhere to ASTM D6381 and IS 15869–2020 standards. The incorporation of these geotextiles into the road structure improves water retention, load distribution, and ground stability. Environmental compatibility tests, durability studies, and mechanical testing are all part of comprehensive characterization. A validated numerical model was created to forecast performance and analyze soil-geotextile interactions. Research indicates that these geotextiles have the ability to increase the lifespan of roads and bridges. As a sustainable substitute for asphalt in road pavements, there is potential for widespread adoption in the future.

SOFE were mixed up to 50 wt% with EAFS at 10 wt% intervals. As a control, a binder containing only EAFS was manufactured. The fresh binder samples were cured at room temperature for 7 and 28 days. Phase analysis was conducted using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The results indicated that the addition of SOFE caused a delay in the geopolymerization or alkaline activation reactions, which resulted in a decrease in mechanical properties at low hydration times, 7 days. However, substitution of SOFE led to an improvement in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties after 28 days of curing. Ideal substitution ratios were 30 wt% or higher. At optimum substitution ratios, the bulk density of alkaline-activated cements decreased, water absorption and total porosity increased, but conversely, flexural and compressive strengths raised from 8.3 MPa and 19.3 MPa, respectively, for control cements to 11.3-11.8 MPa and 24.5-25.7 MPa for cements that incorporated 30-50 wt% SOFE. The increase in mechanical properties could be attributed to the synergistic formation of a hybrid N,C-A-S-H gel, resulting from the higher formation of N-A-S-H geopolymeric gel in comparison to C-A-S-H gel, owing to the higher amount of silica in the SOFE residue. The insulating capability of the cements improved as increasing amounts of SOFE residue were incorporated, with values ranging from 0.68 W/mK for the control binders to 0.34-0.15 W/mK for the cements that included 30-50% by weight of SOFE. The results of this study may help to promote the application of SOFE in the production of more environmentally friendly EAFS-based alkaline activation cements.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143957440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
