Battery recycling is not only good for the environment but also for the economy. Recycling batteries can help meet the growing demand for critical minerals, such as cobalt and lithium. This means battery recycling can support the transition to clean energy and create new jobs and industries. Closing the loop needs more, such as using less material, extending the life and looking for substitutes.

One of the biggest battery recycling plants in the US is up and running. The company processes used lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap into useful materials for the clean energy transition. The plant aims to reduce waste, emissions, and dependence on foreign sources of battery materials and create a circular economy for EV batteries.

Looks like EV batteries get 9 lives, now! The new recycling plant in Covington can process 30,000 metric tons of input each year, breaking down old batteries and prepping the most valuable materials inside to be processed and turned into new batteries.

The physical action of grinding batteries up may cause chemical reactions that help speed up metal extraction for recycling: nature.com/articles/d41586-023

There are already plants that recycle batteries by grinding - I visited one for Fully Charged a couple of years ago - but this is a step up: youtube.com/watch?v=Bpe8HalVXF

But this is an extension of that idea, and it sounds as though it has real potential.

And it's friday again, time for . Established by @TexasObserver to promote great work from some of the newsrooms here in Mastodon.

This time with an article from @ghonsel:

Longer life for used batteries

Many old batteries can be saved by replacing individual cells. A new process makes it possible to assess more quickly whether this is worthwhile.

Was great to talk about battery recycling with @drvolts@twitter.com ! Important topic, so much going on at the moment with IRA and European Battery Directive, so ripe for an update soon again!
