A lithium-ion battery consists of a number of small cells that are joined to form a larger “pack” in engineering parlance (see Pesquisa FAPESP issue nº 261). The first step in any battery recycling ...

The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), Arlington, Virginia, and the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), Silver Spring, Maryland, have released a joint policy statement ...

"For two decades, lithium ... speed up current recycling processes, while at the same time lowering costs, and is the only technology to fully rejuvenate every type of Li-ion battery cathode.

and electric vehicle manufacturers must work together to revolutionize lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling processes to meet ever-growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems.
