Our study on market and value chain specificities of ESEE countries aims to describe and analyze territorial Lithium-ion Battery (LIB) market value chain specificities, emphasizing on aspects and data relevant to Lithium-ion battery recycling. In particular, although there is an expansion in demand of Lithium batteries due to the increase of EV the LIB recycle facilities exist in the ESEE countries, the practices implemented are outdated and fail to capture the full capacity of LIB recycling.In sum, Poland seems to have, so far, the most developed market for LIB battery and this involves all value chain aspects, from production to processing and recycling. There are a number of facilities active in LIB processing and recycling, while an extended EPR system ensures the undisrupted collection of LIB waste (among other e-waste). Similarly to the rest of the countries covered in this report, the EV market growth will improve market conditions for LIB recycling.
