When considering an electric vehicle, have you thought about battery recycling? The increasing production of lithium-ion batteries for EVs presents major economic and environmental challenges at their end-of-life. Sulalit Bandyopadhyay, a researcher at NTNU and Delft University of Technology, is developing efficient, closed-loop recycling strategies to recover metals from old car batteries for new ones.

In his TEDx talk, Dr. Bandyopadhyay raises awareness about this critical issue. He argues that consumer demand, driven by asking the right questions, will compel society and the market to prioritize battery recycling.
