As our world goes electric, a “tsunami of batteries” is coming. The volume of spent batteries is estimated to rise from 129,900 tonnes/year in 2019 to 3.7 million tonnes/year in 2030. Battery recycling is an important part of the solution to the environmental and human toll exacted by the mineral extraction that’s required to make batteries.

We recently hosted Ajay Kochhar, the CEO and co-founder of North America’s only commercial-scale lithium-ion, Li-Cycle, to discuss the latest developments in the battery industry and battery recycling.
