In the UK, transport accounts for a third of emissions. Electric vehicles are seen a key to reducing this figure with the EU setting a target of 30 million electric vehicles by 2030. But the efficient recycling of lithium batteries is yet to be perfected. 🚗

The aim is to help the UK’s efforts to develop a circular economy around raw materials for batteries. 🔋
