There has been a lot of concern about battery materials and global geopolitical risks. In some ways, it would be easy to just keep relying on China for rare earth minerals, lithium, and other things we need for the energy transition. But, as we’ve learned in the past, depending on somebody too much gives them […]

Lithium battery recycling is an important part of protecting the environment, as it can reduce the amount of raw materials used to create new batteries and decrease the amount of waste generated by disposable lithium-ion batteries. Recycling lithium-ion batteries not only helps conserve resources (and the emissions that come with obtaining those resources), but also […]
