Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out.
