Battery Recycling
Chemical processes to recover valuable materials from used batteries.
LUX TAKE:
Innovations in recycling – both lead-acid and Li-ion – will be invaluable to the battery industry. Alternatives to smelting will reduce regulatory pressure on lead-acid battery production, and increased Li-ion battery recycling will assuage concerns about Li-ion battery lifetime CO2 emissions or massive volumes of end-of-life waste.
