Summary

This study highlights a collection of recycling processes designed to recover critical metals from clean energy technologies like batteries and renewable energy devices. Researchers present a practical toolkit of techniques for extracting valuable metals from end-of-life equipment. The findings suggest that improved recycling of these materials is essential for sustaining the transition to low-carbon energy systems.

A “toolbox” of processes is highlighted to recycle metals from energy storage and renewable energy devices.
