FRANKFURT -- Japan and Europe have agreed to cooperate in recycling EV batteries by establishing a system to share information on the extraction sites and suppliers of minerals used to make them.
The system, to be launched by 2025, is to counter China, the dominant supplier of rare metals such as lithium. The tracking initiative seeks to prevent outflows of those strategic rare materials from the regions and facilitate their reuse.
