UK launches a Critical Minerals Strategy to recycle batteries
The circular economy forms an important part of the UK Government’s newly launched Critical Minerals Strategy, which outlines its commitment to supply critical minerals, especially as countries adopt electric vehicles. Batteries are one of the most hazardous items ending up in landfills today. As they slowly decompose, they leach heavy metals into the environment to cause permanent damage to our soil and waterways. Learn how numerous recycling companies in the UK are partnering to create a circular economy for batteries to grow and scale recycling operations to reach a higher recycling and recovery rate for these metals.
