Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. Aqua Metals has a pilot line up and running, and is selling materials to customers in the metals industry. But for now, in this nascent industry, the common practice is that companies provide the black mass material to recyclers, who use the pyro methodology.
