Показать описание
PODCAST - By 2030 waste from lithium-ion batteries will soar to 2.5 million tonnes per year. Li-Cycle, a Canadian company has a patented process that can recycle up to 95% of the components into battery-grade raw materials that will be used to make new batteries - the very definition of a circular economy.
The wild success of smartphones, laptops and electric cars is due to the impressive performance of these batteries, so much so that there are fears of shortages of the raw materials as markets for electric cars soar.
Recycling batteries not only deals with a serious waste problem it creates a new supply of the increasingly rare raw materials needed to manufacture them.

Its a good start. If the business model is profitable then it needs to be scaled up.
plastic and tire recycling are also a very important part of making electric transportation happen

What is the amount of energy required to shred then separate the raw materials as compared to mining them?
