Last week, Emil Nusbaum, participated in Benchmark Week 2024 and addressed challenges facing the US in its efforts to recover critical minerals and battery materials. Emil discussed how government policies play a key role in allowing for the recovery and reuse of electric vehicle batteries. Emil was joined by Sangjune Han, Director of Battery Recycling at SK Ecoplant, and Matt Stock of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence #AdvocacyInAction #advocacymatters #advocacy #autorecycling

Last Friday, on America Recycles Day, ARA's Emil Nusbaum,attended a demonstration on lithium-ion battery safety hosted by Montgomery County, Maryland's Department of Environmental Protection. Emil attended the event and learned firsthand from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue's Hazardous Materials Team about suppressing lithium-ion battery fires. This public awareness event drew attention to the risks associated with the improper handling and disposal of lithium-ion batteries. Over the last several years, there has been a dramatic increase in fires resulting from the improper disposal and handling of lithium-ion batteries. These fires have taken place in residential homes, commercial businesses, and in the recycling stream. Therefore, it is important that the public be made aware of how to handle lithium-ion batteries. Emil is currently working to develop best practices and recommendations to the State of Maryland in his duties as Commissioner for Maryland's Commission to Advance Lithium-ion Battery Safety.

Can't wait to talk with Sangjune Han and Matt Stock about how policy and technologies are helping to create a circular battery economy. Make sure to attend our session at 3:30 PT on November 12th!
