Closing the Loop on Thailand‘s Electric Vehicle Batteries

A roadmap towards an electric vehicle battery recycling value chain by 2040

This discussion paper provides a strategic roadmap for establishing an industrial-scale electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling value chain in Thailand through 2040. It is targeted at Thai policymakers, relevant government ministries, automotive and recycling industry leaders, and academic researchers involved in energy storage and circular economy strategies. Readers gain an action plan structured around ten milestones and five key action areas, covering Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, formalised collection, industrial scaling, and specialized workforce training. Ultimately, the publication enables decision-makers to mitigate environmental and safety risks, bolster domestic raw material resilience, and guide long-term infrastructure investments before end-of-life EV battery volumes rapidly escalate.
