Well, not literal gold, at least not much, but there is plenty of lithium, cobalt, and other materials that are good for batteries but hard to find in the earth. Ecobat is known as the largest recycler of batteries in the world, a longtime dominant player of lead-acid battery recycling with a growing focus on lithium cells.
We come from the lithium industry,” Kochhar told Charged. “We We used to work for companies that produced lithium chemicals that go into cathodes, cells and, ultimately, battery packs. And we’d be asked as lithium consultants and experts to look into these looming questions: “How environmentally friendly are batteries?
