How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine. Based on our precious metals recycling, we pioneered industrial-scale battery recycling in 2011 in Belgium. Robert Privette: Rechargeable batteries are among the building blocks for the green energy transition.
