Part 9/12:
The Closed Loop Shifts in Recycling
In response to these challenges, Tesla is pursuing a revolutionary closed-loop battery recycling process. The company's vision is to convert end-of-life batteries into new raw materials for future production, minimizing reliance on mining. By increasing its battery recycling initiatives, Tesla aims to recover up to 92% of essential materials from used packs. If successful, this could establish Tesla as a leader in a self-sustaining energy ecosystem, free from supply chain vulnerabilities.
