There’s a paradox in the way that people talk about battery minerals. On the one hand, we’re convinced there’s not going to be enough critical minerals so there will be shortages and prices will rise sky high. And on the other hand, they also think we won’t be bothered to recycle. In this video I’m going to run through the technologies we have available to recycle batteries, and the main obstacles to scaling this industry up even faster.
