V januarju 2025, stranka iz Francije nas je kontaktirala, da bi začela projekt recikliranja litijevih baterij. Predstavili bomo resnično študijo primera odlaganja litijevih baterij v Franciji, kot referenca za podjetja, ki se zanimajo za vstop v sektor recikliranja materialov iz obnovljivih virov energije v Franciji in Evropi.

What Are the EPR Compliance Policies for Lithium Battery Disposal in France?

Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Act

Po mnenju Francije 2020 Zakon o ravnanju z odpadki in krožnem gospodarstvu (Protiodpadni zakon za krožno gospodarstvo) in najnovejšo uredbo EU o baterijah in odpadnih baterijah (Uredba EU 2023/1542), proizvajalci in uvozniki baterij morajo izpolnjevati razširjeno odgovornost proizvajalca (EPR) zagotoviti varno in okolju prijazno recikliranje izrabljenih litijevih baterij.

Kakšne so glavne zahteve strank glede odlaganja litijevih baterij v Franciji?

Stranka je celovito podjetje za recikliranje odpadkov v vzhodni Franciji, ki je specializirano za recikliranje in predelavo nove energetske opreme in baterij. Kot odziv na izvajanje uredbe EU 2023/1542 in francoski Loi AGEC, stranke imajo naslednje zahteve za odlaganje litijevih baterij.

Uredba EU
odpadne litijeve baterije v Franciji
  • Oprema mora biti skladna z okoljskimi predpisi EU in Francije ter imeti popolne sisteme za zbiranje prahu, čiščenje izpušnih plinov, in nadzor hrupa.

  • Po recikliranju, čistost katodnega prahu, baker, aluminij, in plastika presega 98%.

  • Obrat za recikliranje litijevih baterij uporablja popolnoma zaprt inteligentni proizvodni sistem za zmanjšanje tveganj ročnega upravljanja in nevarnosti požara..

  • Dobavitelj lahko zagotovi montažo, zagon, usposabljanje, in poprodajne storitve, in ima večnacionalne storitvene zmogljivosti.

Kakšna je postavitev proizvodne linije za recikliranje litijeve baterije 1t/h??

To help our French client recycle waste lithium batteries in compliance with EU regulations, we designed an automatic recycling line with an annual processing capacity of approximately 8,000 ton.

Where to Sell Recycled Materials from Lithium Battery Disposal in France?

  • Local sales (France/EU): Most black mass (cathode powder), baker, aluminij, and plastic are sold to local refineries, battery manufacturers, and material recovery facilities within France and nearby EU countries (Germany, Belgium, Netherlands).

  • Export options: High-purity black mass can also be exported to Asian markets (e.g., South Korea, Japan) for further refining, subject to EU export regulations.

  • Transport methods: Bulk materials are shipped via road freight (trucks) or rail to domestic and cross-border destinations.

How Much Does a 1000kg/h Lithium Battery Disposal Line Cost in France?

For a standard 1000linija za odlaganje litijevih baterij kg/h, the lithium battery recycling machine price typically ranges from $530,000 do $580,000, excluding civil works and infrastructure. This covers the core systems: shredding, piroliza, drobljenje, magnetic separation, air sorting, dust collection, and exhaust gas purification.

Discharge System

The discharge system is optional. There are two methods to choose from. One is saltwater discharge, which typically ranges from $12,000 do $18,000 depending on tank size and automation level. The other is professional lithium battery discharge machine, which is available from $30,000 do $40,000. The lithium battery discharge equipment offers faster processing, better temperature control, and reduced manual handling, making it more suitable for larger throughput or higher safety requirements.

Lithium Battery Shredding And Crushing System

Shredding And Crushing System

This includes the single-shaft shredder, kladivni drobilnik, drum powder removal machine, magnetni separator, and air sorter. Pricing for this package typically ranges from $250,000 do $290,000, depending on configuration, material handling features, and control system integration.

To help clients estimate potential revenue, below is the current market reference price for the main recyclable output — black powder (cathode powder).

Since black powder contains valuable metals such as lithium, kobalt, in nikelj, efficient recovery technology plays an important role in determining profits from recycling black mass from lithium battery materials.

Material Purity Market Price (USD/ton)
Črna maša (containing Li, Co, Ni, Mn) >98%

$4,500 $6,500

How does the operation perform after production starts?

After system commissioning, continuous operation efficiency reached 92%, with carbon black purity exceeding 97%. The facility processes approximately 7,000 tons of waste batteries annually. The customer particularly emphasized the importance of after-sales service and praised the supplier for the remote technical support during the installation and commissioning period.
