Battery recycling is not just about recovering valuable materials; it's also about reducing the environmental impact of battery production. This article - https://lnkd.in/dN_fyicY - by Laolu discusses the importance of sustainable battery recycling practices and how they can contribute to a circular economy. #BatteryRecycling #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #BatteryRecycling #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #recycling #battery #EV #EVbattery #Lithium #Cobalt #Nickel #batterychemistry #oil #zeroemission #mining #greeneconomy

Did you know #lithium-ion battery recycling is key to creating a circular economy? By recovering critical materials like lithium and cobalt, we reduce the need for new mining and keep valuable resources in circulation. At Attero we’re closing the loop on waste through innovative recycling. What role do you see circularity playing in our sustainable future? #circularity #battery #recycling #epr #cpcb #sustainability #metals #minerals

Steirische Wirtschaft covers the highlights of our approach to lithium-ion battery recycling: -             We reduce emissions by up to 70% compared to mining -             We safely recycle damaged and critically damaged batteries -             We recycle LIB independently to the SOC and SOH -             Only ProtectLiB effectively eliminates Fire hazards -             We diminish ADR transports -             Recovered materials are safe after the ProtectLiB recycling process

Curious about where your retired EV battery goes? We would like to show you how CATL gives waste batteries a new life through our cutting-edge Directional Recycling Technology (DRT). With DRT, CATL recovers up to 91% of lithium and 99.6% of nickel, cobalt, and manganese in waste batteries. The recovered minerals are just as good as materials obtained first-time through mining and smelting, and will be used to produce brand-new batteries with uncompromising quality and reliability to power up your green journey.🚗 Sustainability is not a one-time race for trophies, but a never-ending drive with wondrous views alongside. Let’s keep the wheels spinning toward a greener future together!♻ #GlobalRecyclingDay #BatteryRecycling #Recycle #EV #StayPoweredWithCATL

"When recycling isn't working in the free market, there is usually a cause. The amount of material or scale of collection may be too limited, or there may be a subsidy on virgin material (General Mining Act of 1872). The biggest problem is self-inflicted by environmentalists - regulations are more strict in proportion to property values, leading to stronger enforcement against lightly polluting industries (recycling, secondary smelting) and lax enforcement of heavily polluting industries (mining, primary smelting)." From my "About Me" Linkedin page. https://lnkd.in/esRD3uc2 The two problems we face are: 1) Capitalists who take advantage of raw material subsidies. 2) Anti-Capitalists who battle based on "their silo" waste. Fetishism by #2 is draining all the environmental capital. Both are a problem.

In the current economic landscape, industrial waste management can be seen as a form of urban mining. Instead of discarding materials in landfills, these resources are repurposed for use in other processes. This approach allows us to extract value from what would otherwise be waste. By doing so, we contribute to the sustainability of our future, whilst aligning us with the principles of a circular economy.

"A scrap revolution is coming. Extraordinary demand growth for energy-transition metals will underpin significant investment in recycling. There are many barriers to overcome but the opportunities are vast. So, what’s driving the renewed focus on recycling metals?" https://lnkd.in/eQw3sNmA #ReyclingRevolution #Metals #EnergyTransition

Fantastic to see Nick Pickens, Research Director - Global Mining, and Julian Kettle, Senior Vice President - Research, featured on the World Economic Forum. Their latest blog explores the factors that are driving the renewed focus on recycling metals, and where the opportunities for businesses lie. Read it below!

A great summary of some of our key findings from our #MaterialsAndResources report in this FT Rethink video! Improved recycling and use of clean technologies could indeed help ease the supply-demand gap of #CriticalMinerals for the energy transition. Take lithium as an example: by 2030 demand for the metal is expected to rise six-fold from current production levels. At that point, demand will be 30% higher than projected supply, in a base-case scenario. With extensive recycling and using less lithium in future batteries, that gap could narrow to just 10%. It's important to note however, even with strong action on innovation and recycling, scaling supply rapidly enough to meet demand growth between now and 2030 will be challenging for some metals, and mining will need to expand significantly. https://lnkd.in/e96aifGc Financial Times Tom Wilson #energytransition

Did you know ❓🤔 Did you know that recycling catalytic converters not only helps preserve rare metals but also reduces carbon emissions associated with mining new metals? Considering that a single catalytic converter can contain up to 7 grams of platinum group metals, recycling them becomes an efficient and environmentally friendly practice. It’s a step toward a circular economy, where valuable resources are reintroduced into circulation, reducing waste and environmental impact. ♻️ 🌍 #Sustainability #Recycling #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalImpact
