We're now surrounded by electric vehicles, portable electronics, large-scale energy storage systems for homes, businesses, and power grids and specialized applications in medical devices, aerospace, and military tech. Meaning, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable to daily life and to the modern energy economy. And we've talked at length about the serious issues of these batteries and what happens when they enter waste and recycling streams, so it's important to know what to do with these devices and who is making waves in battery recycling.

One of the biggest challenges with lithium-ion batteries is infrastructure, or a lack thereof. We're dealing with inconsistencies in collection and logistics, and an ever-changing task to keep up with battery design and chemistry as both constantly evolve. Even for recyclers ready to process these materials, it isn't always so simple.
