Eco-friendly method of recycling EV batteries

The German company Duesenfeld recycles batteries from electric cars. The main difference: The modules are shredded where the end-of-life batteries are collected. No hazardous transports of Lithium-Ion-cells. Furthermore 96 percent of a module is recycled through a hydrometallurgical process. This includes valuable materials like graphite, electrolyte, manganese, copper, aluminum, lithium, nickel and cobalt. Using these recycled materials would reduce the carbon footprint of new lithium-ion cell by up to 40
