Indicative effect of incentives on the profit margin

The sensitivity of profit margins to the allocation of incentives to recyclers.


Assuming that there is $3,750 per battery (100% of incentives tied to domestic sourcing) passed onto recyclers and a battery weight of 0.5 ton, there is potentially $7,500 per ton of batteries recycled available to recyclers. The maximum incentive available for allocation may be higher or lower than $7500 and is dependent on the recycled battery's metal content, the recyclers efficiency and negotiations with the battery manufacturer to whom the recycling products are sold.
