The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched its first lithium-ion battery recycling center, called the ReCell Center. A goal of the ReCell Center is to drive toward closed-loop recycling, where materials from spent batteries are directly recycled, minimizing energy use and waste by eliminating mining and processing steps.
