Did you know that your old electric vehicle battery holds a valuable secret? Hidden within the complex layers of a spent lithium-ion battery is a high-purity treasure: Copper Rice.
Through advanced mechanical crushing and electrostatic separation, the copper foil from discarded batteries is transformed into bright, granular copper rice. This isn't just scrap; it's a premium raw material ready to re-enter the supply chain.
Powering the Future, AgainThe primary destination for this recycled copper is often
back into new batteries. Due to its excellent electrical conductivity and malleability, it is reused to manufacture anode current collectors, closing the loop on sustainability.
Beyond BatteriesIts versatility doesn't stop there. Manufacturers also melt it down to produce high-quality
electrical wires, cables, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It’s also a key component in various copper alloys used in construction and machinery.
A Greener ChoiceChoosing recycled copper rice over mined copper reduces energy consumption by up to 85% and significantly cuts carbon emissions. It turns "urban mines" into a sustainable resource, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
