Abstract:

The lead-acid battery was invented in the 1850s, before the commercial distribution of electric power which started in 1882. How did a product invented in the 19th Century, before global warming and recycling had entered the mainstream, become the world’s most successfully recycled commodity item? What will it take for the emerging lithium-ion battery recyclers to replicate the success of lead-acid?
In this seminar we will discuss the success story of lead-acid battery recycling; the reasons this industry is polluting despite its impressive recycling rates; and what it would take for lithium-ion battery recycling to emulate its success.
