Well, not literal gold, at least not much, but there is plenty of lithium, cobalt, and other materials that are good for batteries but hard to find in the earth. Ecobat is known as the largest recycler of batteries in the world, a longtime dominant player of lead-acid battery recycling with a growing focus on lithium cells.

Plastics recycling, especially for mixed and contaminated plastics, remains a major pollution concern. At the same time but seemingly unrelatedly, we need more plentiful and sustainable sources of graphene (useful for everything from solar cells to battery storage) and graphite (a key component of lithium-ion batteries).

Battery recycling specialist Li-Cycle will invest over $175 million dollars in a lithium-ion battery recycling “Hub” at Eastman Business Park in upstate New York. steel and plastics). The new facility will work in conjunction with Li-Cycle’s “Spoke” facility, which is already located at the Rochester site.

We come from the lithium industry,” Kochhar told Charged. “We We used to work for companies that produced lithium chemicals that go into cathodes, cells and, ultimately, battery packs. And we’d be asked as lithium consultants and experts to look into these looming questions: “How environmentally friendly are batteries?

Cleartrace announced a $20M financing round , from several strategic investors, including Greentown partner EDF Energy North America. SiTration raised $2.35M in pre-seed funding , which will support its novel separation processes for extracting lithium, cobalt, nickel, and more from recycled EV batteries.

The five participants are disrupting the plastics, energy storage, and recycling value chains. There’s a huge opportunity—and need—for better lithium-ion battery recycling. The people who have the best skill set to recycle these lithium-ion batteries are the same people who manufacture them, Melsert argues.

Applying machine learning techniques to data on the condition of lithium-ion batteries during their charging and discharging cycles, the scientists at Idaho National Laboratory report predicting lifetimes and the ways that different designs would eventually fail, which could then be fed back to identify and optimise new charging protocols.
