· As electric vehicles take off, we'll need to recycle their batteries. When Ford unveiled the F-150 Lightning last week — an all-electric version of the best- selling vehicle in the United States
Compared to the usual “flagship” recycled products such as glass bottles at only 38%, aluminum cans at nearly 64% and newsprint at about 68%, lead acid batteries are the clear leaders in the field. In fact, used lead-acid batteries have topped the list of the most highly recycled consumer products for over a decade.
· Dumpster diving Another option for battery makers is recycling battery scraps. Samsung SDI is actively looking at recycling batteries as a source of cobalt. “We think it could be a popular business model in the future, since [battery producers] need to diversify their sources of cobalt supplies,” a Samsung SDI spokesperson said.
