New Study: Recycled Lithium Batteries are Just as
Good as their Freshly Mined Counterparts

According to a new study, recycled lithium-ion batteries are as good as, if not better than, new lithium-ion batteries manufactured using newly mined materials. The research was carried out by Yan Wang, a mechanical engineering professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and a team of researchers from the US Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC).

Lithium-ion batteries made with recycled materials
can outlast newer counterparts

Proving performance could boost battery manufacturers’ confidence in reused materials

Two new approaches to recycling can reduce
waste and lower carbon emissions

New research has shown that materials obtained from recycled batteries outperform those made with raw ingredients, while plastic waste is finding new life as fuel.
