@mattferrell i see decomposition, but I do NOT see recycling yet.
I do not see how they separate the most toxic stuff (the lithium and cobalt 'black mass') into it's own stuff and then remake stuff with it. I want to see that part before they hype their 'recycling'. This is just partially separated waste. So until I see end products...which they say is 'being developed' this is greenwashing.

@JoBlakely that’s also a solved problem. I made a video a couple of years ago about another company’s walkthrough of how it works: Solving EV's Biggest Problem - Battery Recycling Explained

i'll take a look. China is making sodium ion batteries for vehicles etc and I think that is where batteries are going.
