Modern recycling plants can recover 95% of the lithium from a li ion battery pack.
That's damn impressive, I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for sharing!
The last I had heard was that it was a time consuming, very manual process. That the cells of the batteries had to be removed, opened, and unrolled all by hand. I don't see in the article anywhere that mentions the ease of disassembly, or if any of it can be automated. The 95% recovery is great, for sure. I wonder how scalable the project is though if it isn't automated.
They shred the entire battery pack in that factory.
Beautiful. That's exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you. That's a very cool video.
