A sustainable circular supply chain includes not only recycling batteries at the end of their lives, but also managing waste during manufacturing. Straubel explains that, of all the material that goes into the production process, as much as 10% doesn’t end up being part of the car. Every atom of that should be recycled.”.

University of Warwick researchers have calculated more than a fifth of battery metals used for cell production in the UK by 2040 could be supplied by recycling end-of-life batteries, taking a sizable chunk out of import requirements. If a battery passes a certain test, then we'll be able to recertify it to go back out for energy storage.
