As the demand for lithium-ion batteries grows, there’s a mounting problem of how to recycle the batteries properly. Not only does improper handling cause environmental and safety challenges (between 2016 and 2019, the number of fires at waste facilities across the US and Canada increased by 26% due to li-ion batteries), but it also represents a missed opportunity to recover significant amounts of battery-grade lithium-ion, nickel and cobalt.Â

Ajay Kochhar is the co-founder, President and CEO of Li-Cycle, North America’s largest recycler of li-ion batteries. The company uses advanced resource recovery technology that help recover 80-100% of materials in batteries, safely and sustainably.
This will be the topic of the upcoming members-only discussion when Ajay will present the technology and answer your questions about the future of battery recycling. Join the conversation:
