What happens with the slag from these operations? I assume it is easy enough to separate out the metals from plastics, all of the metal is still potentially available for reprocessing.
Do they keep a huge deposit of these tailings hoping for it to be profitable some day?
- Tagbert 3y agoPossibly. What happens to mine tailings and slag from other smelting operations? BTW referring to it as “huge deposits” is likely exaggerating. There are currently only a small number of battery packs that have failed to the point of being processed. Even with larger number of EVs, the number will climb slowly and will probably never be enough to produce huge slag deposits.
