- globally only a small fraction of consumer lithium-ion batteries are recycleD with 95% going to landfill
- Critical materials shortage for the manufacturing of batteries
- traditional Mining isn't sustainable or Carbon neutral
- Climate change and global push for green energy
- Supply vs demand
End-of-life lithium batteries are often landfilled due to limited recycling capacity and options, along with insufficient incentives or regulations.
Landfilling batteries leads to environmental contamination and the waste of valuable critical materials that can be recycled for reuse.
By 2035, there will be an estimated 1,117GWh of end-of-life EV batteries available for recycling.
Existing lithium battery recycling methods used in the industry are far from being completely sustainable.
The U.S. currently has very limited zero-waste, low-emissions and sustainable lithium battery recycling capability available for the production of black mass – an intermediary material required for downstream battery precursor cathode active material (pCAM) production.
