Why Material Recovery Matters Addresses critical raw material scarcity (Li, Co, Ni, Mn), material recovery reduces environmental impact and mining dependence and supports circular economy and sustainable battery manufacturing.
Recovered Materials & Uses Cathode metals: Li, Co, Ni, Mn → Battery‐grade salts (Li2CO3, NiSO4) Anode materials: Graphite recovery & purification Current collectors: Cu and Al foils Electrolyte components: LiPF6 and solvents (partial recovery).
