Battery recycling is not failing because of demand, but because of process. Sheeba Dawood explains how identifying battery chemistry before processing can unlock higher-value outputs, improve safety, and enable true circularity. A clear look at how traceability, collaboration, and smarter systems can reshape the economics of the battery supply chain.
Main Topics Discussed
• Challenges of mixed feedstock in current battery recycling processes
• Chemical fingerprinting to sort batteries before shredding
• Improving recycling economics through traceability and known feedstock
• Role of collaboration in building domestic battery supply chains
• Safety and circular economy benefits from better battery identification
