#109: The Michelangelo of Batteries? How Green Li-Ion's Tech Is Turning Battery Disposal Positive
Episode description
Did you know power tools, electronics, toys, and phones all use lithium-ion batteries? OR that as of 2023, we only recycle less than 5% of Lithium batteries?
This week we spoke with Green Li-Ion Co-founder, Leon Farrant, who went from living off the grid to working in the oil & gas industry, and finally full CIRCULAR back to Green Li-Ion.
Green Li-Ion is a lithium-ion battery recycling startup who are turning battery disposal from negative to positive. Green Li-Ion COULD be considered the Michelangelo of lithium-ion batteries, where they spent 10 years developing a proprietary machine that could process old batteries in 1 fell swoop.
We dive deep into…What’s the circular economy and how it plays together with climate tech, how anyone could start a battery recycling business and make it profitable & lucrative using Green Li-Ion’s tech, and how the battery supply chain is a mess yet has explosive potential over the next 20 years.
