Recycling Lithium-Ion Batteries Offers Benefits Over Mining Virgin Metals
Recycling lithium-ion batteries is the way to go, according to a new Stanford University lifecycle analysis published in Nature Communications. That’s because recovering the critical metals from used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has significantly lower environmental impacts than does mining virgin metals. Recycling critical materials in end-of-life LIBs can help alleviate … [continued]
