Rethinking Compliance in Battery and EV Manufacturing
While the pace of new EV and battery plant development is shifting under the new administration, one thing hasn’t changed: the compliance risks inside existing facilities.
As companies reevaluate their investments in electric vehicles, many are quietly scaling back production and delaying plant expansions. But the environmental and safety challenges tied to lithium-ion battery manufacturing, coating chemicals, and complex waste streams remain very real — especially for facilities already online.
Why Compliance Still Matters
Even without rapid growth, current EV and battery operations still face scrutiny from regulators. From mislabeled hazardous waste to improperly handled lithium debris, the risks can halt production or result in costly penalties.
3 Ongoing Gaps We’re Seeing in 2025
Improper Waste Labeling — Even experienced teams are struggling to correctly tag and segregate hazardous materials.
Battery Residue Mishandling — Treating lithium battery waste like regular industrial trash leads to major compliance violations.
Cleaning Oversights in Paint Shops — Accumulated micro-particles and residues in pits and booths are becoming safety liabilities.
