#BurlingtonVT startup #NthCycle scores billion-dollar metal #recycling deal

By Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff, March 17, 2026

"Both Nth Cycle and Ascend have developed water-based technologies to extract metals by reprocessing 'black mass,' the ground-up remnants of worn-out #lithiumIon batteries. They can also use the leftover scrap generated by battery manufacturers. Both companies claim that their technologies can capture these metals while generating far less #ToxicWaste than other recycling methods."

The Horizon and the Skyline Mar 27

Last year the California legislature approved a bill that allows "advanced manufacturing" projects to be exempt from environmental review. These projects could include manufacturing semiconductors, making lithium ion batteries and the production of rare earth materials, all of which involve poisonous chemicals and toxic waste. https://horizonskyline.net/2026/03/27/if-you-think-gov-newsom-cares-about-californias-environment-think-again/ #environment #Newsom #SB131 #toxicwaste #CANews

Excerpt: " 'The presence of #LCMs in their brains is a major red flag,' He said. 'If these chemicals can cross the blood-brain barrier in dolphins, we must be concerned about the potential for similar effects in humans who are exposed through contaminated seafood or even drinking water.'

"#ElectronicWaste is a growing problem around the world, with 62m tonnes of it generated each year. The main culprit is '#FastTech' – cheap and often poorly manufactured items viewed as disposable, including devices that use LCMs.

"To reduce the damage, the researchers said people should try to extend the life of their #electronics through #repairs and disposing of them using certified #EWaste recycling methods."

What a fracking-waste dispute says about Ohio’s energy double standard • Ohio Capital Journal

Ohio is letting the oil and gas industry put more toxic fracking waste underground despite local community concerns — even as the state defers to local opponents when it comes to clean energy. We explore Ohio's open double standard on local control.

Do you think that when Facebook eventually dies it will have the same type of warning stamped on its access points as the nuclear waste it will be generating?
