As uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) skyrockets, we look at some of the key trends in the lithium battery recycling and black mass markets

A new lithium chemicals refinery in Germany will use recycled feedstock for half of its capacity by 2030, according to its owner, Livista Energy Europe

The US Department of Energy announced on Monday June 12 that it was allocating more than $192 million in new funding for recycling batteries from consumer products

The outlook of the global electric vehicle (EV) market, the importance of battery recycling and challenges in battery value chains were among the key topics discussed at the China International Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Week held in Shanghai on May 15-19

Finland-headquartered Fortum Battery Recycling has signed an agreement with refinery AMG Lithium for the supply of recycled lithium hydroxide, the two companies said on Wednesday May 24

Li-Cycle more than doubled its production of black mass in the first quarter of 2023 thanks to its new and upgraded electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling “spokes” in the United States

Tesla’s $1 billion project aims at increasing the carmaker efforts of producing battery-grade lithium hydroxide domestically in the United States to serve the growing North American e-mobility market, the company said

UK-based Watercycle Technologies and precious metal recovery specialist RSBruce Metals & Machinery have extracted commercial-grade lithium and almost 100% pure graphite from spent electric vehicle (EV) batteries, they announced on May 2

The US is lagging in its ability to collect and process lithium-ion batteries, contributing to a massive impending deficit in the domestic supply of lithium that is needed to meet demand for electric vehicles (EVs)

Glencore and major battery recycler Li-Cycle intend to build a hub in Italy which was expected to be Europe’s largest source of recycled battery-grade lithium, the two firms said on Tuesday May 9
