Australia seeks to develop lithium capacity
Scientists at Australia’s national science body, the CSIRO, have released a report that could lay the groundwork for an environmentally and economically beneficial on-shore lithium ion battery (LIB) recycling facility, making Australia a world leader in the field.
The report is the work of the CSIRO’s manufacturing, energy, and land and water divisions. Coming at a time when demand for the batteries is booming, it highlights the urgent need for concerted collaboration between researchers, government agencies and industry partners to develop sustainable solutions to combat the burgeoning issue of LIB waste.
