RECYCLING IS NOT OPTIONAL

RECYCLING IS THE KEY TO SECURING AN ETHICAL

         “Recycling plays pivotal
         role in securing battery
         supply chains…the region
         that leads battery
         technology and secures
         the supply chain will have

       To ensure EV lifetime
       emissions are low,
       countries can decarbonise
       electricity and car
       manufacturers can recycle
       carbon intensive batteries.
