AABC EUROPE 2018: Battery recycling can 'close the loop', provide sustainable cobalt, lithium - Umicore

摘要

Battery recycling is a viable way to ensure sustainable supplies of lithium and cobalt, but scalability, collaboration and primary raw material prices will all be key to its success, according to Christian Hagelüken, Umicore's director of EU government affairs."Closing the battery loop [is] more than just getting access to material. Recycling is a sustainable source of cobalt, lithium and nickel," Hagelüken said at the Advanced Automotive Batteries Conference (AABC) in Mainz, Germany, this week.
