Japan Recovers 90% of Lithium from Used EV Batteries in Major Breakthrough

Japan develops a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries

Scientists in Japan have developed a revolutionary recycling method that recovers up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries, a massive leap over traditional techniques. By swapping standard sodium hydroxide for recovered lithium hydroxide, this process not only boosts efficiency but also cuts carbon emissions by 40%. This innovation could drastically reduce reliance on imports and stabilize global supply chains as the demand for electric vehicles continues to skyrocket.

"If adopted globally, it might not just change lives in Japan; it could save the world."
