Recovering the materials inside is often too complex to do at scale. Chinese company Botree is working to close the loop. Their process extracts nickel, cobalt and lithium, making recycling cheaper than mining.

Today, Botree operates 60 projects across 14 countries with major industry players amongst its clients.

A strong IP strategy accelerates Botree’s overseas expansion as the company sets out to redefine battery recycling.
