Another battery processor, Call2Recycle managed to collect 8.4 million pounds of batteries in the U.S. in 2020. This is 11% more than in 2019.

Aqua Metals is the third battery company that announced its plans for 2021. This company that relies on lead-acid technology decided to move into the lithium-ion battery recycling business.
