Lithium-ion batteries, found in cellphones, electric vehicles and laptops, present a future toxic waste disaster, as they run out, but a startup claims to have the solution.Ascend Elements, based in Westborough, , created a process that shreds used batteries and turns them into cathode shells, ready to be turned into future working batteries, and placed inside electric vehicles.The process creates a powder called 'black mass', that is then filtered to remove impurities, and all individual metal elements extracted, reducing the need for more mining.
