Closed-loop recycling represents a transformative opportunity for the EV battery supply chain, but what does achieving it entail in practice? This session dives deep into the practical, financial, and technological hurdles in realizing closed-loop systems for critical battery materials.' What defines a truly closed-loop recycling system for materials like pCAM, CAM, copper, nickel, lithium, and graphite? ' Are we technologically and operationally prepared to close the loop?' Are we going to have enough scrap/end-of-life batteries? What Are We Missing?' From feedstock scarcity and recycling complexities to missing links in processing chains like metal sulphates, what solutions are required to bridge the gaps?' Is closed-loop recycling financially sustainable for all stakeholders? ' How can industry partnerships de-risk the process while ensuring mutual benefit?
