The Scottish Sun, reporting on the 2025 incident, quoted a resident who lives next door to the plant as saying, “Basically, that Fenix lot moved out and washed their hands of it, so there’s been 50-60 barrels of batteries sitting there with no one stepping up to clear them away. It’s a disgrace. It was a disaster waiting to happen.”

Although there is no mention of lithium-ion batteries among the “barrels of batteries” on the site, what is the probability there were?
The Fenix plant recycled a variety of battery types, including lithium-ion, alkaline and NiCad batteries. In 2021, Fenix Battery Recycling partnered with Eco Recover to set up a recycling scheme for Personal Electric Vehicle (“PEV”) batteries across the UK and Ireland. “A pilot scheme is running in the South West and will be rolled out across the UK,” Circular Online reported at the time.
“By 2025, it’s estimated there will be 4 million eScooters, 12,000 electric mopeds and 350,000 eBikes on the market, resulting in catastrophic numbers of lithium-ion batteries going to landfill. The new scheme aims to increase the number of batteries recycled in the UK and make lithium-ion battery recycling cleaner and more sustainable, Circular Online said. “Fenix are the only UK-based lithium-ion battery recycling facility.”
Lithium-ion batteries are well known for their combustible nature; many examples of these batteries suddenly bursting into flames have been widely shared on social media and in the corporate press over the years. Completely missing the irony, Circular Online went on to say, “all of the collections carried out by Eco Recover will be done using 100% electric vehicles, further minimising their contribution to carbon emissions.” Continued at https://expose-news.com/2025/04/16/inferno-at-scottish-battery-recycling-plant/

Lithium battery fires become more common every day as more and more devices contain them. Here are some examples of fires that occurred in a range of devices from mobile phones to electric vehicles. 03:52 mins
Authenticity
How willing are you to decline purchasing lithium battery powered products knowing the risks and hazards to you, family, others and the environment?
Authenticity is how each of us can contribute to improving world conditions sooner rather than later.
