Recycled-content evidence can affect battery information, procurement, and passport support. Lithium Record stores the files and hash trail without issuing recycled-content certification. 1
This spoke belongs to the Battery Passport Lithium Vault pillar at /battery-passport-lithium-vault/.
Recycled content as source evidence
A recycled lithium file may include recycler statements, mass-balance records, batch notes, recycled-content calculations, custody documents, or customer declarations. The record should identify whether the file concerns recycled input, recycled output, recovery process, or a battery-level claim. Those boundaries matter because recycled-content evidence can be misread if the page only states a percentage.
Battery Regulation connection
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 includes recycled-content provisions for certain battery materials and categories. A Lithium Record page can preserve the lithium evidence a customer associates with recycled-content work. It does not certify recycled content or decide whether the evidence satisfies a regulatory threshold.
Passport link
If recycled-content information feeds a passport workflow, the record should link to the data-field map and source URL page. If the file also supports provenance or custody, it should link to the provenance pillar. The aim is a record chain, not an isolated claim.
