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).

Here’s how Redwood Materials is putting recycling at the heart of the burgeoning battery belt. The solution, or part of it, might come from recycling. There’s a bit of a battery manufacturing boom going on.

It’s usually one of the first objections cited by EV naysayers: batteries can’t or won’t be recycled, and they contain hazardous materials that will end up in landfills. In fact, no such sinister scenario is likely—most of the components of Li-ion batteries are valuable, and it’s quite feasible, technically and economically, to recycle them.

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.

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.

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.
