"Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion Battery Recycled Content Standards for the Us – Targets, Costs, and Environmental Impacts." Resources, conservation, and recycling, ,. pp. 106488. doi: 10.1016/j.resconrec.2022.106488 DATA & FILE OVERVIEW These files are used to calculate recycled content standards for the United States and the economics of recycling. 1) R model description: This model uses R software. The R script titled "RCS public model.R" is the material flow analysis (MFA) model which calculates the recycled content standards. This model requires all other files in the repository that do not begin with "OUTPUT" to be downloaded into a folder that can be connected via a working directory. Due to the size of the model and analysis, it typically takes a couple hours to run. The other output files are based on the Argonne National Lab EverBatt Model which has been modified based on the description within the journal article Dunn et al. (2022) 2.
