#BurlingtonVT startup #NthCycle scores billion-dollar metal #recycling deal
By Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff, March 17, 2026
"Both Nth Cycle and Ascend have developed water-based technologies to extract metals by reprocessing 'black mass,' the ground-up remnants of worn-out #lithiumIon batteries. They can also use the leftover scrap generated by battery manufacturers. Both companies claim that their technologies can capture these metals while generating far less #ToxicWaste than other recycling methods."

#Maine will require battery makers to provide #recycling options
By Tina Fischer, April 9, 2026
"Gov. #JanetMills signed into law a measure that will offer more options to recycle both single-use #alkaline and #LithiumIon batteries in Maine.
"LD 474 updates the state’s current product stewardship laws to require national battery manufacturing companies to set up drop-off locations and fund a statewide take-back program so that all batteries can be safely disposed of and rare earth metals can be extracted for reuse.
"Eight other states have enacted similar laws.
"The state’s existing battery recovery program, enacted in 1991, covers only nickel-cadmium batteries. Many hardware stores, town offices and Staples stores in Maine accept some types of batteries for recycling. The nationwide Battery Network lists on its website drop-off locations in Maine.
"Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries — commonly found in power tools, cell phone chargers and #vaping devices — has led to at least 24 fires at recycling facilities in Maine. Disposal concerns have driven up insurance rates for towns, according to the #MaineDEP.
"More than 820,000 pounds of batteries are thrown away in Maine every year, according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine [#NRCM].
" 'Holding corporate battery makers accountable for cleaning up waste will lower costs for Mainers and help curb demand for mining rare earth metals,' said Vanessa Berry, sustainable Maine program manager at the nonprofit.
"It is technically illegal in Maine to dispose of rechargeable, button cell, or lead-acid batteries in the regular trash."

EV Battery Recycling Could Be The End Of Mining!
A circular economy for batteries is no longer a dream. New breakthroughs in hydrometallurgical recycling mean we can now recover up to 98% of battery materials. This shift could drastically reduce the need for new mines and slash the environmental footprint of every EV on the road.

#RecyclingLead for U.S. Car Batteries Is #Poisoning People
By Peter S. Goodman, Will Fitzgibbon and Samuel Granados Visuals by Finbarr O’Reilly and Carmen Abd Ali
Nov. 18, 2025Excerpt: "The #AutoIndustry touts #BatteryRecycling as an environmental success story. Lead from old batteries, when recycled cleanly and safely, can be melted down and reused again and again with minimal pollution.
"But companies have rejected proposals to use only lead that is certified as safely produced. Automakers have excluded lead from their #environmental policies.
Battery makers rely on the assurances of trading companies that lead is recycled cleanly. These intermediaries rely on perfunctory audits that make recommendations, not demands."The industry, in effect, built a global supply system in which everyone involved can say someone else is responsible for oversight.
"#Nigeria, the economic engine of West Africa, is among the fastest-growing sources of recycled lead for American companies."

They are also creating a huge BESS with the old batteries they get which still have life in them. -

Scientists found that heating worn-out lithium-ion batteries to specific temperatures with voltage can restore them to nearly 100% capacity. This method could revolutionize battery recycling and extend device and electric vehicle life. Heating lithium-rich layered oxide cathodes, restores their structure. This behavior challenges conventional wisdom and opens new sustainable energy solutions.

Rice researchers develop innovative #BatteryRecycling method
A research team at #RiceUniversity led by James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry and professor of materials science and nanoengineering, is tackling the environmental issue of efficiently recycling #lithiumIon batteries amid their increasing use.
"The team has pioneered a new method to extract purified active materials from battery waste as detailed in the journal Nature Communications on July 24. Their findings have the potential to facilitate the effective separation and recycling of valuable battery materials at a minimal fee, contributing to a greener production of electric vehicles (#EVs).
"'With the surge in battery use, particularly in EVs, the need for developing sustainable #recycling methods is pressing,' Tour said.
"Conventional recycling techniques typically involve breaking down battery materials into their elemental forms through energy-intensive thermal or chemical processes that are costly and have significant #environmental impacts.
"The team proposed that magnetic properties could facilitate the separation and purification of spent battery materials.
"Their innovation uses a method known as solvent-free flash Joule heating (#FJH). This technique devised by Tour involves passing a current through a moderately resistive material to rapidly heat and transform it into other substances.
"Using FJH, the researchers heated battery waste to 2,500 Kelvin within seconds, creating unique features with magnetic shells and stable core structures. The magnetic separation allowed for efficient purification.
"During the process, the #cobalt-based battery cathodes — typically used in EVs and associated with high financial, environmental and social costs — unexpectedly showed magnetism in the outer spinel cobalt oxide layers, allowing for easy separation.
"The researchers’ approach resulted in a high battery metal recovery yield of 98% with the value of battery structure maintained.
"'Notably, the metal impurities were significantly reduced after separation while preserving the structure and functionality of the materials,' Tour said. “The bulk structure of battery materials remains stable and is ready to be reconstituted into new cathodes.'
"Rice graduate students Weiyin Chen and Jinhang Chen as well as postdoctoral researcher and Rice Academy Junior Fellow Yi Cheng are the co-lead authors of the study."

By 2044, recycling batteries will be the norm. Efficient recycling tech will minimize the need to dig into the earth, governments will back this with robust policies, and companies will ensure batteries live multiple lives. Consumers will champion recycled batteries, making recycling wallet-friendly. The future is circular, and batteries are leading the charge!

There are already plants that recycle batteries by grinding - I visited one for Fully Charged a couple of years ago - but this is a step up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpe8HalVXFU
