Recycled metals and the renewable energy transition

Renewable energy, electric vehicles and battery storage all depend on metals such as copper, cobalt, nickel, rare earths, lithium and silver. Under a fully renewable scenario, demand for them could rise dramatically.

Recycling is the most important strategy to reduce that primary demand, and to avoid creating new social and environmental impacts along the supply chain.

TTI facilities produce aluminium, nickel, vanadium and molybdenum from waste, with a minimal carbon footprint and without the environmental degradation of mining.
